silk of BILK

Joy is what I had since a boy
Cheer is what I have ear to ear
Hope is what I need right now
Doubt is not the way out somehow

I suffocated myself with the silk of bilk
I was jaded and hated myself for years
Now I love myself with endless, encouraging tears

But, I forgive myself entirely so
Some days come and some quickly go though…time, like wings, fly away sometimes
I have reapt what I sowed…
Keeping my lawn of mind mowed

Sprinkle salt and pepper upon my distasteful flavor
You are my encouraging, empathetic endeavor 
I lived my life in utter ruin and error
Unsure of what lies ahead, so unsure
