i'm afraid that when i tell you, you will fall
but when you fall, i don't wanna be held responsible.
you broke my heart and i never had the heart to tell you;
you ruined me, but my soul is like glue.
your shadow creeps and spits in my cracks and creases;
unbuttons me like i am nothing new.
Please... now see... I am all but blossomed
all but something to you.
and speak with words straight forward
put no heart into that verse;
The light is shining on you.
Please reverse, the curse.
time will go however you need the clock to tick
forward and frontward; around around and again.
but here i am standing on the second hand
dropping and raising quick; it's sick
please now, spill it all.
i'm ready to fall.
i'm ready to leave your mind.
i'm ready to start again
and i have but you gotta see who i am.
so i said it all and now you're tumbling to the fall
no fingers; i said don't point the blame.
i'm not wanting to hear the crumble
but you left me just the same.
and now i'm taking it back now-my heart;
and learning to give it with a piece of mind and no shame.

Poetry: Holding back
I've stood here far too long
A silent air surrounds
For I refuse to speak
When my mind says otherwise
A kind of gentle calling
or
We have ideas about ourselves that we use as limitations or resistance to change or to avoid exploring junctions and opportunities.

Truth Cheats
I am pissed off at Truth.
Truth always wins,
no matter how hard I try.
Truth and I have an uneasy relationship
trying hurt to myself
Please stop telling me not to cry.
Please don't say you told me why.
You don't know how I feel,
Praying
by April Self
If I give myself the shadow of a doubt.
If I take away these feelings that haunt me.
Do I claim to be holding back true love
