Getting off the Bike

Getting off the Bike

So tired of pedaling
and hiding my eyes
That cried from some hurt
I covered with a lie

The lie like I'm okay
everything is fine
Nothing is wrong
I just need to ride

Blood on my arm?
I didn't even know
My heart broken in two?
I really need to go

my bike brought me home
where I'd feel safe to be
to let out all the tears
I couldn't let them see

No one to trust
with all I had inside
everyone just let me be
They watched me run and hide

I prayed for peace and some trust
That I had never felt
Someone to help me off my bike
And make my armor melt

Then a gentle whisper
You are not alone
You don't have to ride again
Cause you're already home

It is indeed good to have a gentle whisperer nearby, and better yet, at home. Good pace and flow all the way to the denouement.

Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
