I am everyman, and I’m frightened
I wonder what the evening brings
I hear the stone, rolling
And see, the cave dimming
I am everyman, and I’m frightened

I pretend that I am finally made whole
Feeling what a young man once felt
Touching upon what could have been
Crying in secret, over milk that I’ve spilt
I am everyman, and I’m frightened

I do understand that what’s done is done
But believe, I may yet be redeemed
In dreaming away the “everyday”
I try justifying, “who I am” with “what I am”
Hoping, I can at least acquaint them
I am everyman, and I’m frightened

I remember this...as distinctly
as if I had read it just yesterday.

It is ok to be frightened,
you taught me that.

If you manage... would you tell me how? *S*

This is one of those poems that make me SO glad you're writing instead of doing decoupage. *G* Excellent work!!!
