I Keep It For Myself

I Keep it For Myself
The hurt, the pain,
betrayal, and confusion, all that is gone
Poured out to the wind, carried off to the clouds
Mother nature cried tears for me
All that was left when washed away was the hope, peace, and focus...
I kept that

Blinded by guilt, fault, and finger-pointing,
Wide open eyes now read the stories through the lies,
Foolishness no longer abides, thanks for the lessons
You are the past, not my present, nor my future
Not easily broken, although to my knees I staggered,

Gathered a breath, and regained my composure
Learning grace under pressure
Faith under fire
And while I'd like to share,
I must keep it to myself.
