Where I Can Be Me

I took this photograph while I was visiting Texas over the summer. I love this photograph so much I use it as my icon on Facebook and other websites for people to know it is me.

While I was in Florida, I was going through depression spell. I wrote the following poem which I think goes well with this photograph.

Where I Can Be Me

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I know what I am feeling

But do I dare write it out

In the hopes no one sees it

I feel like eyes are all around me

Watching my every move

I hear the voices say

Do this, do that

I try to bring order 

Within my thoughts

Waiting for the love to escape

And bring me peace

When one turns away

No gentle touch

Just a peck on the cheek

Treating me like a sister

It is really hard to fight

This dark accent

I'm waiting for the clouds to part

And allow the sun 

To come shining through

I welcome the night

The darkness I am trapped in

I can hide where no one can see 

Where I can be me.
