 The Preacher

Burnt out - empty -
talking walking puppet -
saying what
you're  paid to say...

Doing it in the
kindest way -
without offending -
without questioning -
without rocking the boat...

Following the script -
with words running
on auto pilot -
as your heart yearns
for truth - honesty -
and a peaceful place
to rest...

They listen - unaware -
unaware of your
constant pain -
constant shadow -
sleepless nights -
fight for sanity -
and your yearning
to simply be yourself...

Joy Weare,
9th November, 2009.
