Talking About It II
They say
Forgive yourself
And all will be well
For your own sake
Give up your scars
For our comfort
Give in now
For nothing else can
Give us relief
You say if
You accept yourself
All will be soothed
Care no more to
Carry the load
Empty out all that
Provokes such turmoil
All you were then
You are not now
Cut off these
Endless reruns
I say it’s hard
To be safe
from myself
Outcast amidst
all those who are me
Entrapped by the past
Denied access
to what is present
You say that I
Could bloom again
In years to come
And fuse together
Be whole as one
I find myself wond’ring
Whether all these words
Can lead me there
