...A constant buzz of busyness 
Continually swarming us
Easy to get dragged down

...You know I won’t
Let you or anyone
Take me for granted
Ever again
I won’t give myself
In blind naiveté
To anyone
Until proven worthy

Is slipping from my grasp,
Like I’m walking atop eggshells,

Mirrored windows every day they sing
Suspicious car wreck I’m leaving behind
If this is my death, at least I’m not bl...

It will be written then re-told,
Thru the zodiac in braille 
Only read by each our soul...

Brightly there for all to see,
