Emotions are held
hostage...
Hugged knees are
pressed against the chest...
The bitter taste of
poor words used now remain upon quivering lips...
The heart listens while
the mind is torn...
A being hidden from the
world
Cleverly disguised
behind the forever smile drawn
Moments stolen and
memories forgotten
Consideration for well
being is fleeting
Old scars are traced
and relived
Concealed beneath the
passing of time
Footsteps have faltered
The path of life has
become a climb
Short lived glances
within the mirror bring a different vision
Recognition of a
stranger through an empty stare...
How far has this soul
been led astray?
Never would a mind
imagine such choices and actions
Taken against the
better judgment for the betterment of others
From confined thoughts
come options created
Inspiration of survival
takes root within the wonderment of broken
Despite it all, the
heart does beat again
Yourself is found
fighting...
Through the dark hours
you managed to push
Battling the heavy
weight of what is expected and supposed to be
To seek that
fulfillment of a desire to reach out to the light
To rise above all that
which tries to hold you still
Human spirit burns with
the will and compassion sometimes forgotten
With so much given to
others, we must remember to give it back to ourselves
Drown no more in
misery...
Look up...
Stop hiding behind
closed doors
Sink faucets were never
designed to muffle that many tears
Life is a source of
natural and spontaneous changes and moments
It's up to us to
navigate the flow the best way we can...
Sometimes the past
calls us back
While the future pulls us forward, to something or somewhere new
While the future pulls us forward, to something or somewhere new
You are here and now
In every day existed...
Remembering why we do fall
To learn within life...
The realization of the
true cost of everything...
