To take the path not yet taken,
Or the path that's been heavily trodden?

Crossroads and forks,
Which direction to choose?

Take the easy way out,
Or the hard way and find out?

Follow the script,
Or make it up along the way?

Fall into mainstream,
Or make yourself known?

Choose black and white,
Or color your life in rainbow?

Listen to your head,
Or follow your heart?

How do you ever choose?

Locked up Tight

Blindfolded-
Unable to speak; gagged
Obscured from sight,
Except I can see
My lips shiver from unspoken words-
Bound so tight,
I cannot breathe
Knots hold me down-
Unbreakable yet fragile
My story will go untold.
Tongue tied; trapped inside
There's no escape

Wanderer

Wide awake
Entrapped within thoughts
Weaving endless threads
Never coming together; always apart
Grasping at something, anything
Always falling, never steady
I cannot hold on- where's my strength?
Wait, go back
I can't...
I'm too far gone
Give me a hand, any hand-
ANYBODY?
Are you there- am I that alone?
Save me...
For I cannot save myself.

Despair

Feelings of dread
Reaching into the darkness
Full of despair
Thoughts creep back
The mirror image of you appear,
No body's there
Shattered glass
And I fall to pieces-

Forever

Terrified-
Of being shattered
Picking up shards: only leaves scars*
Being left alone-
By you: Never
My body, mind and soul
I gave it all away-
Yours: forever and eternity
Bounded, trust, honesty
We are entwined-
My scars, your scars:
We will heal each other
Our love is what got me here,
I'm trusting you- with my-
Heart-
Body-and-
Soul.
  FOREVER.

You're my everything

Tearing the skin
Bubbles then drips
Single satisfaction
Slowly- one by one
The tears come rolling down
...a broken promise-
Never forgotten.

Endlessly

Would it be okay-
If I fell apart
Would your heart hurt-
If I shut down
Would you be okay-
If I buried myself deep inside
would you break-
If I couldn't stay today
What if I-
Said I couldn't handle the truth
Would you care?
Would you chase me?
Or would you say goodbye?
