LONELY CHILD
Torch is passed
No mystery
Behind the consternation
On my furrowed brow
Trudging through the minefields
Longing for completion
Sacred glimpse of home
Seeking love
Unconditional
Revelations
Rare
Hurdles
Monumental
Taking time to change
Soaking up the truth
Behind these bedroom eyes
Lonely child remains
Selfish in such longing
Unbiased bulletin
Forgive
My insecurity
Indulge
My fragile passion
Accept
My humble plea
