Bare Minimum
now bear in mind this barren soul
has bared it's heart, and been made whole
what once thought right, now proven wrong
I'll bear the burden of this unsung song
paint these walls with what's at hand
be it blood, or ink, or colors bland
a circumstantial painted wall
just might show how in thrall
I am with the light, but being held back
by my own selfish ways, and marked lack
of talent, ambition, and courage too
all I do is sit and stew
on these things, but never act
just sit here and write introspective facts
or maybe just ramble on about me
make it so I can rationalize the plea
the voice that screams to hide in habits
long denied, but they still inhabit
this over-dramatic selfish mind
remove the mask and I am fine.
