i fear my dark side: psalm 45

I fear my dark side,
My sadness, my wishes, my unfulfilled dreams,
Of who I am, and who I thought I'd be.

The perfect picture
Every cliché
The lawn, cars, work address
Leave me a total mess.

So I keep my secrets
That I don't tell myself tucked away
In some hidden corners and go through the actions
Waiting for God's blessings to assuage the pain.
