older stuff...
and i guess

and i guess it's my guilt
creeping up on me
after all, i was a
creep
to you.

i try
to do unto
others
as i'd like done
unto me
but all too often i find myself
undoing others
emotionally

and i guess it's my shame
building up
inside
from all the
tears
i've tried
to hide

and i guess it's my fear
that i may
never be
all that i want
to be
even though i try
to fly
i can't--
i guess i need
to accept
that i don't have
wings

and i guess it's just me
myself
and
i
...think too much

i am

i am
struggling
to discover
myself and
recover
myself
i am
crying
because
you may never really know
me
i am
screaming
because
nobody hears the whispers
i am
dreaming
because
sometimes
reality
is just too much
to take
i am
living
in confusion

rescue me
please
be by
my side

I MUST APOLOGIZE
FOR MY WILDEST DREAMS
AND Restless thoughts that
Leap about inside my BRAIN
I WISH I Could RememBeR
ALL OF WHAT I WANTED TO SAY
