Taming The Beast

Taming the Beast

Thoughts weighed heavily

and have for a long time,

threatening to reveal to all

the shame that was mine.

It lay hidden for years

dormant in a dark place,

untouched but still alive

it's hot breath leaving no trace.

Finding A Moment

If I could just find a moment

To get away from life

To sit still under a tree

To sit by a quiet lake

And dip my toes in water 

To lock myself away

To be alone

To breath,

I think I could finally just cry.
