confessions on a sidewalk

Last night

under the influence of the Capricorn moon

I shed all the worries of my heart

The intensity of my pain

My heartache

All the things that won't let my mind rest

I may have scared someone I love

Who wasn't use to such displays

but I couldn't stop

Whiskey shots

Broke down the walls I took so long to build

There I stood

Naked as the day I came into such a pitiful existence

Begging for you to cover me

you could not

The task too great

the silence was enough

I am grateful that you were there

To at least listen

To bare witness to the poison of my mind

And although all my problems are still here

I feel a lightness that wasn't here yesterday

The embarrassment of last night will fade

I am finally able to face the day

Without the anxieties that were weighing me down

The walls were holding me hostage

I couldn't have known that until they were destroyed
