CHANGES

Some changes happen
but locked down deep inside of us.
The ones that only
we bear witness to...
There are scars within scars
that we don't know about;
these are the scars
that never really heal.

FREE

Maybe in some other universe
or in a different Galaxy...
Maybe in some other time,
some other life;
we can finally be...
Free to love,
free to exist as 'us' again.
Free to be you,
free to be me...

I lay still, staring into nothing,
Trying to make peace,
with these voices in my head.
Begging them to shut down for a while,
so I can rest.
Promising them some other night,
but that doesn't help.
And all I can hear now
is a white noise in this blackout...
