The Cork

THE CORK You have been sheltered from a world of love Your every movement is harsh and lifeless Your eyes show your pain and your heart speaks of torture Torture from the many inhumane, insane things that has happened to you Like a child being handed a cookie you feel you must take it and devour every last morsel You may choke on it but you feel you must do what has to be done and accept it You must learn to speak your mind and turn on the switch of power You must take a trip with your feelings and find out what “state” you really want to be in You can take your feelings and bottle them up like an aging bottle of wine and wait for it to ripen Or you can pull the cork early and allow yourself and others to enjoy the sparkle and charm in your eyes, your heart and your inner soul With shaking hands, watering eyes and a heart full of love You can do it You are strong and we will help you To pull that enormous cork from within your heart One day, you will be able to walk with freedom And in your pocket next to your heart you will hold that cork with pride Knowing that at any time you will feel free enough To throw it away and begin a fresh new life
