Lesbian Poetry

Growth in a Strange Land

A hurting chasm of desperation
Constant turmoil and anger
A bottomless unending void
Loneliness kills the soul
Anger rages deep
Confusion

Whimsical emotions rule the heart
Doubts of true goodness
Rules are but a myth
Control eager to be king
Truth is what is viewed
Stop signs always around

Self worth at it's low
World too large to understand
Wanting and searching
Independence stands at the edge
Boxed within and without
Death seems the only way out

Explosions overtaking the mind
The fence seems too tall and too strong
Rage is the ruler
Caged in a land of inconsistency and pain
The gate is locked
The key is to gain

One wrong step is made
Falling in a sea of agony raping the soul
Vision clouded by youth ending
The ground was never laid
The stepping stones must be found within
Then may the soul step up and out of the chasms weight

O heart be strong
Speak wisdom O mind
Stillness will come
Peace will rule
A new life to find
The choice is mine

Written for my other son down the road, with all the love for a true son.
