    Getting off the Bike

     So tired of pedaling
    and hiding my eyes
    That cried from some hurt
    I covered with a lie

    The lie like I'm okay
    everything is fine
    Nothing is wrong
    I just need to ride

    Blood on my arm?
    I didn't even know
    My heart broken in two?
    I really need to go

    my bike brought me home
    where I'd feel safe to be
    to let out all the tears
    I couldn't let them see

    No one to trust
    with all I had inside
    everyone just let me be
    They watched me run and hide

    I prayed for peace and some trust
    That I had never felt
    Someone to help me off my bike
    And make my armor melt

    Then a gentle whisper
    You are not alone
    You don't have to ride again
    Cause you're already home

    It is indeed good to have a gentle whisperer nearby, and better yet, at home. Good pace and flow all the way to the denouement.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
