I am not yet who I am supposed to be. I have a past; I have regrets. And there are words that I'd love to take back. Shame can take me places I wish not to be. Those things that I have done come creeping back to me. I feel like a child who's lost and alone. I never feel safe, I never feel at home. My eyes are blind, can this be? I feel like a prisoner who won't be set free. © Melissa Carlson 2015
