My hope is plain and that is to explain
While pausing this one time only
That my existence is uncertain which causes hurting
If not allowed to be nothing if not me,
And knowing that is what makes me,
I will cease to be

Asked to use my eyes and to realize
How could I, blind, unable to see?
Truth sometimes lagging, and a voice gently nagging,
If not given the freedom to be free,
And in that unfettered state, not really free,
Then I will cease to be

My profession begs for candid confession
Over this strained and sorrow plea
Going without confessing begins my regressing,
Lowers myself onto bended knee
Falling down upon bended knee,
Ceasing to be

Evidence of this verbal extravagance
I’ll try to state so eloquently
In my giving, hope to find one forgiving,
And show them the real me,
To show them the real me,
Before I cease to be

Trying to find "a" line that leaps out, discovering that all lines make the poem....

I simply have to admire this, then gently place it in my library....

where you shall never cease to be.

I hope you don't cease to be any time soon...we would miss your words here *s

Beautiful words.

subconsciously, i think i can eat so much to make my stomach hurt, instead of my heart.
