Private #2

Okay.
So delving deep
Into my fears and doubts
Isolation and panic
Will it always be this way?
People keep fading out of my life
And I'm always somehow convinced there is more
New and improved greener grass.
The sandman owes me sweet dreams and happy endings
But that's just silly fairy tale righteousness.
I sucked in my aura today to nourish myself.
Can't afford to glow when I'm empty.
Not ready to burn or fade
And certainly not to walk alone.
We can only reach out in the limited time opportunity of this life
Though we will be our selves forever.

(Summer '05)

Um...they were "Private" initially for a few reasons...klutzy style being one. Thanks though. :)
