The earth changes course.
My instinct is to hide
From this invading force.
Disarmed, I am.
Disillusions, too many.
I search for reason...
There is not any.
My mind feels raw,
Naked and abused.
No control here.
It hurts to feel used.
I once marveled at justice
And I insisted on fairness.
With age comes experience, and
Unasked for awareness.
Without any warning
Life burns and it bites.
I just want to survive.
Oh please, no more fights.
I watch and I wait.
Will tomorrow bring peace--
Or just more bitter hate?
I cling to past joys.
At the stars I do sigh.
I push to keep going.
I tremble. I cry.
Just what can be said
About trying to live?
I say it's about love,
And all we can give.
