Inner Angles 12/31/2008
I’ve gone thru so much already in my life
Life is strife and pain like knives
It’s my strides—how I strive to believe
When all of my body my mind wants to deceive
Makes me perceive that it’s too late
End of debate—forget an escape
But I know inside
That this is not fate—but thoughts of self hate
The voices speak in words inaudible but compelling
Draggin me in—tearing me down
Outside I smile—inside a frown
I drown in anxiety – insecurity
A moment an eternity
But I can’t succumb to these feelings inside
When I know it’s false
I’m so much stronger than even I know
Have so much more to know and grow … Show!
I have so much more to give
So much more to create in this world of beauty and might
I can’t help but fight defeat though pressures squeeze tight
Think I can’t stand it
Till I start to demand it
From myself
This hand I’ve been dealt
The best hand I could’ve been given
The only way I’ll ever be jailed
Is if within I am imprisoned.
