No time for lies.

I live life one moment at time.
Fighting for survival.
Fighting to be heard above the noises.

People stop and stare.
I give them a smile in return.
And turn myself away.

Sometimes I don't recognize myself.
How can I when the reflection in mirror is not mine.
The voice I speak no longer my own.

Bound by movement and breath.
The simplest of most tasks that can fatigue.
Even as I sleep I am dependent.

In the morning I wake early.
I see the sunrise and marvel at its beauty.
And start another day.

Always mindful of the changes I might face.
Seeking new strengths that may weigh me down.
Seeking answers to questions I cannot find.

I must live my life as I should.
In my own way and the paths I must take.
I have no time for lies.

Live well and dance in your underpants.
Patrick
