Do you know
your own sorrow
can you
remember where it came from
will you
except your part in it
Do you know
where your mistakes in life
have been made
Can you
take responsibility for them
and refuse to be a victim
Will you
allow yourself to be
proud of them
simply because
they are part of what makes you
who you are today
Do you know
true courage
can you get up after a night filled
with failure and regret
weary and afraid
bruised to the depths
of your tired soul
to do what needs to be done or
Do you
hide from the sunrise
your head hid under the covers
and pretend it will all just go away
Do you know
Where your boundries lie
are you true to them
are you true to yourself
or are you constantly
setting new boundries
Do you know
betrayal
can you recognize it in the dark
from only its scent
tainting the air
with a touch that cannot feel
Do you know
disapointment
Can you disapoint another
to remain true to yourself
Will you stand the accusation of betrayal
and not betray your own soul
Do you
know true love
and could you...would you
walk away if you knew
your true love
would be better off
with out
you
