Root

Introverted Sage

Real, raw and reckless with my mouth.
Doesn't take much to get that side to come out. 

Got a lot of shit I been keeping inside. 
Cat got my tongue or is it pride? 
Perpetual game without the seek - was I trained to hide? 

Keep up the charade - save face and live a lie. 
Tired of that life - prepared to die. 

Never accepted - I just wanted them to see. 
But it's scrutiny, ridicule and nit picking every single part of me. 
Nothing in this life is free. 
And I spent my last trying to stabilize this tree.

    Tremendous work.

  • peto

    It reminds me of a silent scream
    As if
    Don't get me started you will regret it
    Then you seem to control it just enough
    To stabilise
    Got a work or family vibe from it
    Top writing once again

      Yes. Life is a continuous reflection and lesson it seems.
      Thank you!
