Nothing to prove

Don't Ask   2/7/2014

Don’t ask me, if it hurts

Because it’s worse

Than you can imagine

And don’t ask me, about addiction

Because it’s a black plague

Killing us all.

Don’t ask me about lost loves

Because I still have the dreams

As I fall backwards into the past

And can never escape.

It hurts

And so does this normalcy

Because all of this is wasted

Worthless, rotten, and dead

As I go through the motions

And pretend that I care.

Find me a place

Where I can just be

Without having to explain myself

Or defend the obvious.

A world where we can love

And breathe

In an atmosphere

That can support life

And tolerate truth. 

Where we understand

And can communicate with a smile

Loving all

And knowing all.

Shout it loud

For everyone to hear

That here we live

And that there is so much more.

What is good, without God?

And what is humanity?

Without sacrifice and selflessness

Nothing but tadpoles

Swimming in the dark.

We long for more

Because deep down

We remember

What it was, we had

And what it was, we lost.

Deep within, our collective souls

We almost remember

Who we really are

And from where

We have come.

On the tip of our tongues

Just beyond our fingertips

The truth springs upwards

In an ancient promise.

But it’s never too late

Until it is

And he who turns now

Shall see all

And shine like the sun.
