Can you be honest with me, if your lying to yourself?

If others can silence you, why cant you silence yourself?

Do you trust me to think for myself?

More than you trust yourself
                                      
                                to speak for yourself?




Let me be in charge today

I never thought
The day would come
Where you would no longer
Need to hold my hand
But in reality
For me to let go
Of my hurt and past
I had to leave your hand hind as well
Forgive me......
I'm sorry

I'm lost
No longer wanting
To be found.
Just waiting and wanting
To be lost
Some more.

I want to scream and shout at the world
Holler at the tolerance
Tell people just how lonely I am
Explain how important you are to me
But when I open my mouth
Inhale
Exhale
No words are formed

Dear Words on the paper
Please heal my mind
I know what they say
And what I need is time

But time is of an essence
that I do not have

My pictures
My words are the visual
The tree trunk
But lack of confidence
My stuttering and shyness
The roots
But still, everyone picks
at my leaves

Another chapter
Same story
A continuation
Of a saga
Behold
A torn page
Torn heart
