i always wanted the bottom line
though within my mind it was
the hardest to find, no one
around me spoke it real
my whole life, sheltered
to the world’s appeal
can’t blame someone
who never knew to say
what was on their heart,
what they so deeply wanted to
say, they were told not to ruffle
,
it would only bring discomfort
,
protection of an ignorant bliss
i’m not bitter, i need to admit
trial and error, pain and terror
brought me to the light
the darkest side, so
thankful for
my Life
