and...

I am stuck
In an endless loop
of helplessness
mentally drained
Never good enough
for someone to stay
and...

I am bound
to unsaid words
a broken heart
that yearns to be remembered
How could I neglect you
and...

I am withering
a flower that missed the sun
roots that never drank
cloudy days that sucked water from air
and...

I am guilted
in petty anguish from anger
drawn from the depths of me
and...

I am scared
to look down
and...

I am wasting away
and...

and...

and...
I am strong

and...
I am pushing through
to the other side

and...
I am succeeding
in my desires
bringing to life

and...
I am undressing
the wounds of my past
so I may see them bare
and learn the depths of pain

and...
I am captivating
humbled
songs skip a heart beat
flowers and dips
silky fabrics

and...
I am in awe
of life and myself
for turning around
scenarios that haunted me
in the dead of night
when I was alone
