even in sunbeams
I’m often standing in the cold
shouldering this war inside my head
is getting pretty old
asking if I am ready for this truth
the face in the mirror looks deep inside
today can carry yesterday’s memories
freedom is smothered if I choose to hide
this long story keeps getting longer
holding moments even when I will not see the ending
breathe and write the script
tomorrow’s chapter is still pending
