~ THE VOICES OF RESISTANCE ~
In a fetal pose
Alone at night
I cry,
Alone at times
I hear,
The voices of resistance
Coaxing me
Taunting me
Into believing I can not
I will not,
Succeed,
At anything I attempt
As though the Gods themselves
Had driven away
The soft snows of opportunity
And pure desire
Landing me
In the comfort of knowing
That I almost won the race
I almost walked on stage
I almost voted for myself
To become the man
I was meant to be in this life
Instead,
The insidious rationalizations
The disgusting justifications
Creep in
Like lurid sin,
I can finish the song tomorrow
Writers block has me hollow
I just can't find the time
To defeat
The voices of resistance
In a fetal pose
Alone at night,
I begin to cry
When suddenly,
A light goes on
And there,
Etched upon the wall
A single word,
"Awareness",
My shoulders relax
And I realize,
I need never cry again
Lest' beauty,
Overwhelm me....

Tony, if that is your true name.
You were born in the wrong time. Kings and queens should be sending there guards to collect your scripts,
With gold for your palms.
