Her

Digging deep into my mind Past the guilt and invisible binds A soul is stirring so impatiently. Who is that other person I might find? I know she’s in there somewhere. Standing tall and strong This me scared of my shadow. While she’s has been there all along The other me inside is beating. Beating hard against my chest I keep her locked away and imprisoned. Afraid someone will like her best. For she was wild and frivolous With no concern who knew Broken hearts a spinning carousel As she served a noxious stew. Yes, I remember her vividly. Rebellious with defiant eyes Underneath a web of deceit To get tangled in her flawless lies. Discerning and cunning she’d spit you back in your own face. Some days played along the dirty game, ever cautious of the pace. Her dance was bare and haughty, her body on constant display never cared who was watching, when she came out to play. Laughter loud and boosting her smile a clever shine., Never to trust her intentions for she’d cross you every time Voices sharp and cutting Musical notes that produced no sound Her world was vast and open, bur feet never got off the ground. She is the person I once was, and sometimes I still wish to be. its best she stays locked away. Buried deep the broken key. I’d still like to pick out parts of her, but cautious of what I would share. Piece us together internally For we’d make a perfect pair Nonetheless my fierce warrior Reining resilient and supreme Running restless and heroic as I see her in my dreams. Flipping through the errors of life Correcting every mistake A different existence without fault In the decisions that I now make. These days I sit behind a desk. Shrinking more and more each day Discontented but surrendered. For this is the price I now must pay. Every misdeed has a consequence, and consequences hold a return. Flashing shadows of yesterdays In the lessons you must learn.
