The Bewildered One
i crave freedom no mandates no commandments
freedom that allows me to recapture the dignity that was taken
i will lessen my own exaggerated suffering
i deal with disagreeable attitiudes on a regular basis
i catch myself watching my words as so they don't slip out
exhaustion and frustration
at times i thought i was destined to die alone
acting on decisions forced me into them
nothing is so painful or unsurmountable than in my journey now
i realize that my insecurity and ego are curiously linked
they trigger my fears and my defects
chocked with emotion as i watch my life unfold
i am arresting my growth based on intangible
i am the creator of my own reality
i find solace from personal confusion
i wave the white flag and finally breathe again
