The first step
07.18.06 (2:20 pm) [edit]Sometimes the first step is the hardest
Shame can hold the journey back
Fear of what others think deadly
Bringing death to the soul
Life only an appearance.
Living for others a maze going nowhere
An illusion based on passing comments
Lightly said
Perhaps in jest
Even in cruelty
People can be petty at times
Things unfair said
The fight is not to give in
Allowing others to control
Even if unasked for
Words have power
So easy to use
Statements said in anger or jest
Leaving wounds deep.
Tread lightly
