Seasons

Emotional pain dragging me down,

Seasons changed memories engage,

Fear and rage turn into crying and shame

Guilted through time, yearning

My life should be mine, Feelings deep

Dare to speak, introspection brings

Reflection, loving self is difficult,

Are you worthy of love, what about

Compassion, am I worthy of life,

Living, how about forgiving, where is

The empathy for self, understanding lost

Picking up the pieces, a mirror

Shattered, broken, a mind keen

Working hard to undo the mean,

Striving to be all these things towards

Self, undoing the programming

Instilled by others, becoming

Greatest self possible through

Pain logic is gained, life can and

Will be changed.
