I didn’t expect what I asked for
When I asked I wanted to see
But now you have shown all of my cards
It isn’t so easy to leave
If I could, I wouldn’t turn back the clock
Once you start you have to see more
I know this is just another challenge
Before I ask for one more
When I get close to the truth
I’ll lose it and start again
For the answers are never worth knowing
It’s the search that is keeping me sane
Knowing I know is no solution
To the garbage I store inside
A clear out every so often
Gets rid of nervous chatter in my mind
Tears have been known to flow
Water will always find its own path
Smoothing the rocks of the soul
While draining our emotional bath
It is good to connect with the self
Sometimes it feels so neglected
When you take it back off the shelf
You will see how much it needs dusted
I try not to fear myself anymore
For I am the only one who can hurt me
I reckon all I need is some love
From the intruder who pretends to be me
Cheers!
