nothing more

 
the melody in your breath held me spellbound
you sang to me about tomorrows with rainbows in your eyes
I shyly looked away
I feared the razor in my smile would cut you
 
pessimistic clouds loomed overhead
they'd shadowed me since birth
dreams dared to envision were on the horizon
I just had to walk into the sun
 
all my demons protested
they argued we will be seen
bottled and brewed courage was one thing
sobriety saw me frightened in the light of truth
 
thoughts rain inside
of not good enough
and if they only knew
 
spotlighted and highlighted sin spoke
I never lied
I stood proud in my truth
naked in it
I took a step onto the stage of life
 
a schizophrenic with the need to write
nothing more
who has stepped to the brink
looked out at the masses
with thoughts of why not me?
