EPIPHANY
I raised my head as I awokeAnd remembered a vision in my dreams that spoke
Of things I wished that I had done,
Of places to which I wish I'd run,
Of words I wished that I had spoken,
Of promises I wished I'd never broken.
And there, right behind my waking eyes
Was an endless list of alibis
Of becauses, ifs and avoidance dances,
Of not enough time and just-missed chances,
Of clinging to chains while professing to be free,
Of hiding so well that I lost me.
I quickly laid my head back down
Before my thoughts caused me to drown
If they return when I revive
I'll have endless alibis
To help me to survive.
