The sadness in his eyes…
Hidden behind a veil of indifference
Yet —
Deep in his wounded soul
A broken heart

I fell through the cracks
I lay all alone
And I quietly hoped they’d help me
As others stumbled, they were helped up
“Soon it will be my turn,” I thought
Soon it will be my turn.
But the seconds dragged to minutes
And nothing
So I timidly hollered.
They peered down at me
I waved
They turned their noses – quiet, you!
Back to the ones above board!
Help them, help them instead
I fell through the cracks and it broke me
Epilogue
Now I choose to sit in the shadows
A tainted spirit and soul.
One day I might explode
Break open the boards above
Let everyone fall down here too
Or if I’m feeling generous
I’ll swim off to the sea
There’s a wide world out there
As soon as I’m strong enough to swim
As soon as the tide comes in
By and by

By and by
A month went by
By and by
A year.
Then,
By and by
A decade had gone
And she found herself alone,
Stuck in a job she did not enjoy
Spending her nights with TV dinners —
Numb to the years marching on.
On and on and on
They marched.
On and on and on.
Til she could no longer grasp the joy of her youth;
The triumphs, the failures.
It was just her in an empty apartment,
Wishing she hadn’t let it all go.
How did her life just float on by?
By and by, it did.
You. & I.

You.
You who hold me down.
You who hold me back.
You who keep me caged.
You.
How do you capture a whisper?
How do you keep still a moment?
All I ever wanted to be was
Whatever I wanted to be.
But…
You.
You try to hold me down.
You try to hold me back.
You try to keep me caged.
I live within your rules
And it is breaking me apart
But I dare not escape
I dare not defy you
For you rule the world
You rule my world.
I.
I am drowning.
I am flailing.
I am suffocating.
I dream of a whisper.
I yearn for a moment.
All you let me be was
Whatever you wanted me to be.
But…
I.
I will not drown.
I will not flail.
I will not suffocate.
Any longer
You imposed your rules
And they nearly broke me
But I fight to escape
I struggle to defy you
I…
I struggle to rule my world.
