These

These words, trying to tell the world how I feel
Trying to exorcise the pain inside
What do they achieve? Nothing that I can see
Because the hurt still eats away
Gnawing at my heart and soul
Until all hope. all light is gone
Maybe at another time, in another place
I could love and laugh, be who I know myself to be

But not here, not now, not ever

Love & best wishes to all
