Here and Now
Inch by inch I plod along,
a Pilot wary of the clouds.
The Lines aren't ready yet.
I cannot form a reply.
I am most honest when I am Silent.
I Whisper 'I'm Fine', but it's a lie.
Like an iron fist to my chest,
the pain you caused then is still here.
You tell me there is Safety in numbers, it's a Given,
when I was in third Grade I may have believed this.
But as groups get Bigger and Multiply,
there is more Divide than ever.
In my tower of solace, I gaze at the River.
Each Brick protects me. And I feel safer, safer
Like that girl in the nursery Rhyme,
I am dancing, dancing, but completely alone.
