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. 

Being Ignored

being ignored

feels like fire burning intensely hot

in your chest

pain shooting to the ends of your fingertips and down your thighs

heat in your face

and hair that aches to be pulled out

thoughts that rage so fast you want to bang your head to keep them still
