You Thought You Knew

This light is all I know As others extinguish my sun They celebrate my fall While my voice aches to ascend And all I see are faint smiles Behind their cracked facade They apologize with crystallized hypocrisy But, I will overcome. For they make it so... ©D.J.E.

Indeed. I don't like the fact that I even had to write this kind of message out. But, I did and each time I re-read this, it will empower me. Thanks so much, my dear Jim!
