Limitation...
What do you do
When your own
Shadow
Is ashamed of you?
When the eyes that
Were once clear
And bright,
Have become
Tarnished,
And jaded?
What do you
Tell your friends,
When you cannot
Look them in the
Eye,
And smile sincerely-
While basking
In the glow of
Acceptance?
And how can you
Help
Your family through
A rough
And troubling time,
When the wreckage
Of your past-
Has left you
Paralyzed
With despair?
Where have the
Rainbows
Ended up
This time?
You've chased them
Only to be
Struck down-
By the storm clouds
That gather behind
The soul,
That only wanted
To be
Free?
There is no
Destination--
Only
Limitation...
And an
End
To all
Things...
