Just a little something that came to me today after many years of writer's block.
Ever felt like the world was against you?

That you just could never be good enough to keep up?

I've been there.

felt down in the dumps and not sure why

Ever felt like you were sinking instead of swimming?

I've been there.

Damned if you do

and certainly damned if you don't?

I've been there.

Ever hidden who you really were

Just to fit in?

I've been there.

Cried instead of smiled or

fought instead of loved?

I've been there.

Ever stopped to think what the world would be like without you

then realized it would just keep on going?

I've been there.

Smiled when the pain was just unbearable.

Just so they wouldn't ask?

I've been there.

Ever kept quiet when you should have spoken up

Done the wrong thing when you knew you should have done the right thing.

I've been there.

Ever looked in the mirror and decided you didn't like what you saw

But decided to change it and in process lost who you really were?

Well I'm still there...
