This is me playing the part
Tapping my feet to the beat
Softly swaying side to side.
This is me playing the part
Bowing my head
Keeping my eyes shut.
This is me playing the part
Continuing conversation and
Answering questions correctly.
This is me playing the part.
This is me with hurt in my heart
An unrelinquished bitterness
A sour taste in my mouth.
This is me with hurt in my heart
Wandering thoughts
Unaccomplished desires and dreams.
This is me with hurt in my heart
Releasing rivers of rage and refuge
Neglecting numbness and neuropathy
This is me with hurt in my heart.
This is me playing the part.
