Save me from myself or not at all.
Can't seem to find my way out of this dark hall.
Try as I might I keep hitting these brick walls.
Running out of steam, the train preparing to stall.
As a child that song would always make me cry.
Now I'm older, life led me to this place and I can see why.
It was my dream to come here and learn to fly.
But my wings were clipped and in the desert I died.
Like myths and fables just enter my name.
My life has played out eerily the same.
Do I follow the whispers or go back to where I came?
Made friends with Hades to keep from going insane.
This line - I haven't walked it so well.
Even sashayed myself right into hell.
It's on my choices I was forced to dwell.
Then the whispers started to yell.
Show them your pain, it is alright.
Even if it takes up all of your might.
Standing up and sharing a bit of your light.
Might help another through their own dark night.

You know, even though we don't realize it...sharing our pain does help. It helps others feel....not so alone. BUT it also helps US...release! Thank you for choosing to share it! 💫
Thank you!
Keep sharing
It does help
Hell of a write
Got me wondering what the song is
Thank you!
I'll probably share it eventually..
Craziest thing though, the song has my name in it.. and I never realized until recently.
Makes it even more the mind jam 😑
first save ourselves
then offer a helping hand
just like those wise
stewardesses tell us...
(so true, wise Poet)
thank you
I was just having a conversation with someone about exactly that.. Can't save the world if you're not a part of it.
