Somehow living, shuffling through Thinking I'll never be whole I failed at life, succeeded at nothing dropped into a blackness that was total, like coal I became depressed, I snarled to believe I sat down with a heavy hole in my chest I died a thousand deaths to only live once I compared to everyone else but I wasn't even second best To stand here as a fraud, to love as a man I said nothing that anyone wanted to hear And I sat in the darkness with my frustration, my despair, and my fear Finally an angel appeared to me soothed me with his smile and with that whispered "You'll get out, but in a little while." I stood and begged, but she stood pat told me this had to go differently So I sat in my prison offered a plea And then the light appeared and I dove into the heat because my rampaging insecurities finally met defeat I fell in love again But on this dime He and I will proceed in due, due time.Birth sign: Aries
