Chapter 535

My Vision

What you are seeing
Is my creation, my vision
I am trying to express myself
Not cause strife or division

Reality and fantasy
May have a collision
Nothing is perfect
Everything is a decision

For what some have done
The way that they did it
I won't give them a 'pass'
I will MAKE them relive it

This is my choice
This is my right
I don't want it to be something
Over which we will fight

Everyone is entitled to their beliefs
I am too
This is MY vision
I respect yours too

This is not just a story
It is my life retold
Things that seem gory
Must be told

I am working REAL hard
Nobody knows how much
I want to spread joy and happiness
As I reach out to touch

My words are like art
As they paint images in one's mind
Through the maze of darkness
Myself I try to find

Much of what we seek
Is real only if we pretend
I'm never trying to hurt
I do not mean to offend

What you see presented
Is all that I have
They are pieces of my mind
That break off and calve

I don't want to create
Any anger or a hard feeling
I want to express and share
I hope my words spark healing

It is very, very lonely
From the outside looking in
With so much time and effort
It leaves the skin very thin

When I am questioned or challenged
It makes going forward tough
I think I have failed
I feel I am 'Not Good Enough'

I cower from an 'attack'
The hurt makes me cry
It is times like this
I wish I could die

Nobody
