A Hidden Journey
By Tara Nicole Walker

Toiling on through the recesses of my soul
Forever being here but never being here
I'm never where I want to be
Crying out and tearing at my hair
I slink into myself
Hiding from what is real
To the truth I recoil
My mind is closed and my lips are sealed
I can never come out and say
I can never come out and do
Because it doesn't matter
To my nature I stay true
I can never win and all goes wrong
I can never please
It doesn't matter how hard I try
All that truth does do is tease
Why try any longer
Please don't feed the hurt
The only thing that real life does with me
Is to torture me and flirt
