Show me a place where I can
turn around and see a new
day with not a clouded eye.
I want to take life by
the reigns-but I cannot.
I'm somehow blocked and
uncapable of warmth
and feeling.
The very thread of my
existence is pulled so tight-
it seems as if it will soon pop.
Unbearable thoughts
intertwine with my
new found joy.
I want to stop it all and
start over again-with a
fresh outlook.
The mirror upsets me to
the point of tears-
how long will
this last?
