Getting Back
Requires Trust
and strength

somewhere latent, sleeping?

I can't surrender
Beyond the rail I can't
Must find

That dream means everything

to me.
Everything.

Self-destruction often tempts
hand on my neck
angles it slightly
til I give in

I musn't

Hold tight
Keep blinking
Straining to see
Their shapes, colors
The beauty of

Knowing
Feeling
Doing, breathing
living
Being
what I love

Love itself
music, movement
Passion
Freedom

Expression and truth
Should trump fear and weakness
Should they not?

I fear my own naivety
yet won't surrender
I'm not ready

The light in me
Is small
But not extinguished

I struggle
To make it grow brighter
To glow once more
