A step forwards is a step back
A track that my feet have worked into the grass
Head down
Eyes closed
Mouth press shut tight
I hold it all inside and scream
Silent at the stars in the sky
lines of red trace
seams in my skin
dripping life onto my shoes
as I dripp salt water onto my lips
whatever choice I make
is a choice that causes pain
I can not close my eyes any longer
I can not hold my breath
I must lift my head out of the water of
Dogma
And fight my own fight
My own battle
Earn my scars
I am a phoenix
Burning
Bridges
And crying tears of healing pain
Trying to remain the same
Can no longer be
The game
I play
I must
Emerge
On my own two feet
Believe
What I must believe.
What I must.
