her

I cannot abandon 

that young girl anymore

I pushed her aside 

just to make sure 

everyone else was alright

and to be honest 

I am not sure I have not just

continued to do that 

the rest of my life

Dancing

Somewhere I am dancing

and you have never seen me before

And I am meeting

a person's eyes whom I adore

Somewhere I am carefree

daring to get out and explore

And I am creating 

memories I don't want to ignore

therapy

lying on the floor 
singing my heart out 
to every song with a tune
in the cadence of my soul 

the thoughts consume 
they fill this room
and i must exhume
the sentiment piercing and whole
