In my head, ever scented..

Sometimes I feel,

I'm not your own,

It's been hard to heal,

I realized it's better being alone.

Love and trust,

all I've been after,

stop chasing I must,

Oh, I miss all that laughter.

A secret I've kept,

only one knows the cause,

for all I've wept,

I wonder when there'll be a pause.

Broken, rather brave,

madness and stale,

understand none, the opposite I crave,

Punished and blamed, all that ail.

Negative?

Coward?

I'm trying to live,

looking to be empowered.

Falling slowly,

grabbing hold,

dreaming of a valley,

and find someone so bold.

My life narrated,

intense emotions,

in my head, ever scented,

like in vials, potions.

Held on, so long,

I had to fall,

to know what was wrong,

and get back up, stand so tall.
