I cannot be myself
While the world around me begs me for performance
I cannot heal
While the paying crowd are baying for some laughter
I cannot walk tall
While the recent past is weighing down my shoulders
I cannot breathe
While my broken heart is struggling to mend
What can I do?
When everything I try results in carnage
What can I say?
When everybody thinks they know the story
What can I be?
When all I thought I knew about me vanished
What can I become?
When every forward thought becomes a burden
Stop the thoughts of pain
Start the process
Stop holding myself back
Start the journey
Stop dying of embarrassment or guilt
Start living
STOP...
and START....
