Walk Proud

Somedays I am surprised

to find these fears

exist within myself

Not the distance between

her body and mine

Other times these thoughts are solid

there is no space no place

My heart is not so strong as I say

These walls are painted with smiles

Much more fragile than I even know

Walking proud has lead me

to this hopeful place

With so much to loose

Somedays I don't trust here

Or there or me or you

the only cure for me

is more love
