You tell me

Member since 2003 · Posted 31 Dec 2003 · 2 comments

Repititions of the past lead YET AGAIN to disappointment. Afraid to answer the calling of the past I am haunted, haunted by the pain, haunted by the consequences Hautned In fear i grasp on to what has kept me strong thus far All that has enabled me to fly free free from what has held me down and what continues to hold me down. I cry alone In my lonliness i find a sweet comfort a comfort that is all too familiar where i can be me No one to compare to, no one to please I have me and i have my own truth... One that has given me the reason to go on.... Me... No body but me... Trespassers whom i have let in, seem to fail the test put before them, no body sees the truth, let alone the cry for help In my solitude i battle on to find my grace and in my grace the beauty that is projected becomes insatiable to those who claim to search for what i hold.... In their effortless struggle for survival i am overlooked yet again... Breathe life into me and let me feel love... Show me happiess without pain Give cause for the right to love Help the stressed and benevolent Show compassion for the man who lies beneath.. All faces and masks to wear Reveal to me life... Blessings from which we all must learn help me climb my greatest obstacle and let me be.... I cannot but love without doubt and you cant show mercy without consequence.....

You can't keep hiding for the rest of your life.
