Stripped...separated by one issue or another... Always one excuse or the other But one sure thing... Not as an outcast. Yet, You set me apart,even in the midst of a people. And I'm lost constantly waiting for time to pass Hoping that time will heal all gaps And unity can hold us all in accord. But time is lost in eternity. With no more tears, Embracing the life I've come to know I press on in trust until all emotion become numb Or dare I say dead? Standing afar, yet pushing closer to the mark Further breaking my heart Grinding me and aiming for fine dust... Humbling me by lifting my head And as a light tower, cannot be hidden. But watching on...waiting...standing and Saying nothing as the nation's troop in. Until the day my separation is indeed complete. And words bubble forth as a fountain from its core. 

Please do not act like you care. Because in truth, I do want you to. Without me asking for it. Though you think I am the strong one, But I do have my struggles... Transparent as I am, I wear my all on my sleeve. Yet, in trust I stand...I wait. Wishing there was a spoon... Where of course there is none. I watch on...trying to make sense Of the care,concern, and freedom That just got engrafted into the wild What is this? Acquintances or something like it? Friendship or just a game? Whatever it is, honesty rules. For this sole purpose, We have refused to take the highway. .. For we know where that road ends. We have been there before... de javu. We choose the old way. To meet the one who will answer our questions. .. Requirement? Same. Honesty.
