Self Imprisonment...
I suppose
somewhere inside me
I yearn for freedom
from
that which holds me
stagnant.
Overexaggeration turns under estimated

and slow the flow of that which could,
and
perhaps will,

protecting my pain.
It is mine...
and I want so
badly
to keep my pain to myself.
But, in doing
so,
I am hurting so many who cross me,
or care
for me...
Aching for love and acceptance,
only
to
throw you down
in the latter
of our shared
love...
Yet, anger and guilt not shared
between
me and you.
You are blamed for all that is
a
mystery within myself...burning.
Oh, I pray that I
might someday
throw a blanket over that angry
child...
If the strength is found
within the
CORE
of my being.

and weight

I am drowning and I am tired
and so
very, very lonely.
