Is there another out there who understands these lacerations ?
Someone who has felt the deep hollowing out
Of a heart and whatever courage is made out of
Is there someone who knows this pain?
I feel guilty for things I could never have controlled
A Father turned against himself
A Father who felt enough pain for one lifetime
And now I sit alone
Isolating myself as to spare any pain or ache
That a heart and body might produce
Do I protect myself from the world outside
Or am I protecting the world from the riptide of emotion
I am anxiety
I am the other half too
My life is a prayer to anyone who feels these feelings
You are not alone
