Re-Tired

There is this pain
that won't lose its grasp,
the cramping of my thoughts joining in
as it paralyzes the beginning
of what could have been.

I have nothing to offer but self,
an aging self penned up
and fenced in by words, fears,
loneliness and change.

I fade more and more into the darkness
that swallows me and tire
of the cobwebs that stick to me
as I brush past those memories
that no longer hold promise.

I am being stripped of the shine
that glossed me once
into a time of believing
and I no longer wish
to perform for anyone.

You should never have to perform for anyone lady. And shine, I have never seen a star shine brighter!

And when you offer yourself, dear gal, you are offering such a wonderful thing..
and dontcha ever forget it.
You always were, and will be,
shining your own light lady.  Hugs. (check your email M )
