No Turning Back
for Franziska
I lost but found myself again
After not having been
Awhile or maybe not at all
Before after the fall
To be would cost me all I had
Tossed out of what I thought
I had but sadly I did not
And I had to go mad
Before I could know this is it
I would have to go get
Through hell and back but got the knack
Of it and brought it back
Someone has to be Mr. Lance
So why not take this chance
To be my best for the rest of
This journey learning love?
To be looking forward to it
No turning back like when
I got to not to be because
I forgot who I was
But who else could I be but this
Schizophrenic poet
That I thought I ought not to be
But I have got to be?
For shame or fame I sign my name
To be the one to blame
Wearing the name and bearing the
Responsibility
Someone must do what I just may
Become good at someday
So whether or not I know it
A chance too good to miss
Now that I know this is how it
Somehow turns out now it
Occurs to me I am to be
Just how I am just me
I must be the one to do it
Because no one else does
