Buried

Every day is a reminder
That I’ve taken off the blinders 
and now I see
what it means to be

to feel so free
yet so caught by this feeling
that I’ve fought without fleeing 

and to come to the conclusion 
that my delusion 
was to think that I’d ever be able
 to wipe the table 
and to move on

Without a second thought,
Or third or fourth, 
Because that’s what your worth

And if I were to unearth
All the feeling’s I’ve kept buried,
In this world so bloodied by lies 
And fill’d with sad goodbyes

Of which I want no part,
Because in my heart, 
I know

I know I want you to stay,
What I want you to say
And I want to lay to rest
All the rest of the possibilities.

Every day is a reminder
Of just how much kinder the world could be
To grant me the possibility 
To express the real me

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
