Poem #25 - 30/30



There came a clear water day, void of confusion
Confusion made her a reader of other people's lives
After so many stories she made a resolution
Not hide in books but instead live her own lies

Confusion made her a reader of other people's lives
Lost in books for awhile until she was clear
Not to hide in books, but instead live her own lies
Grew into a strong woman who refused to live in fear

Lost in books for awhile until she was clear
The world she'd been born into was a winter storm
Grew into strong woman who refused to live in fear
So she went west, were the azure sea was warm

The world she'd been born into was a winter storm
Filled with icy stares and frozen feelings
So she went west, were the azure sea was warm
No more icicle words, sharp and unfeeling

Filled with icy stares and frozen feelings
It took her many, many years to heal and thaw
No more icicle words, sharp and unfeeling
Still she was a ball of pain, her nerves always raw

It took her many, many years to heal and thaw
Went through many people's love, betrayed their illusions
She was a ball of pain, her nerves always raw
Then, there came another clear water day, void of confusion
