For my sweet Dixie Doodle... was digging in the attic here at PIP and found a good oldie, and it made me think of you

Shards of glass under feet
of things I could never be
it don't do nothing but rain
under the weight of the
broken-clouded dreams

Drenched and drowning
yet I look down at
feet bleeding yesterday
unable to move -
forward
or back,
does it matter?

Shadows of never beens
I can see better than
the real faces staring
back at me -
pleading
for me to change
my ways,
or words

neither which I care
to do, if only to conform
or seem pretty
and ladylike to
those that know nothing
about the woman,
or girl that
walks on glass
just to feel something
real,
even be it
painful,

deep screams
that no one can hear
that's okay with me
I always suffered
best in silence
that only I could hear
I always wanted
to burn my bra
yet, the best I could
do was burn bridges
leaving gaps between
myself and home -
so I will just do
what I have always done-

walk back the hard way
through the brambles
and mire that lie ahead
it won't be pretty
and I'm gonna
be dirty and not
lookin' like a lady
when I show up
at your door -

with bleeding feet,
and a bleeding heart
will you take me
back after all of this?

will you still want
to know this
less than a lady?

Tell me now
'cause if not -
I'll just take the
easy road, and save
us both the trouble.

Sometimes, it just isn't worth it to chew through the restraints....

This sums up the struggle & inner turmoil to perfectly, fine write Tina & thanks for digging it up. It is good to get the opposite take on this issue John
