The honesty room

The Honesty Room

cracked, in earth, in spirit broken
a door, a key, the word unspoken
crumbling reason, no release
charred and dirty, stolen, cease
a void, a voice, a mother tongue
the empty hollow, no more young
rusted, aching, sealing shut
a mark, a stain, a constant rut
soul foreclosure, stark white lie
no desire, a whispered sigh
the way is hard, a constant ache
impostor, treason, lie awake
to face the dark, in anger, fear
razed in terror, quivering tear,
still there, a future, still, a seed
waking beauty and desperate need
silence, twisted, a blinding white
imagine, live, resist, take flight.
