It never took much vocabulary
To get my emotions across
But between the two realities
Lies a chasm I cannot cross
I felt the pull of yearning love
But lacked the push to break free
Until with no courage to speak of
I leapt, eyes shut, just to see
Was it more painful to stand vulnerable
But at least feel the light
Was it so miserable
To have an empathetic ear for my plights
Were those inner demons
Really only mine?
