You Want To Play - You've Got To Pay

by

Robert Cameron Hazelton

It hurts sometimes
Paying the price for dreams
Divulging a piece of one's self
To attain desired extremes,
Trying reluctantly to decide
Which part you must painfully cede
Gritting teeth, and fervently praying
The cut is quick and clean.

Though often this is not the case
Wounds are long in healing,
Memories, like fest' ring sores
Keep the mind from feeling
Self Pity, the silent thief
As it continues it's subtle stealing
The past drags on, condemning the future
To be bleak and unappealing.
