Burn:
perfumed by fear
failing to breathe
pounding
so loud so loud
thoughts weighing heavy on my mind
excuses paint my life full of colors that burn my eyes
like fireflies
tainted truths flow in these veins
bleed me clean
i feel dirty
nitty gritty particles of perfection
forced down my throat
showering me in shame
pointing all the blame in the wrong direction
tears stream and make me sick
ripping the flesh from my scared body
I crave..........silence.

THE world is so tiresome.
You feel boxed in.
Can you get away?
Close your eyes and it will begin...
A cloudy, chilly day
You're walking along an unfamiliar road.
Feelings of unknown guilt and sadness,
seem to go on hold.
Around the next turn, you see me.
I look up from my writings and give you a smile,
without a word, you sit and stay for awhile.
With just a look, in each other's eyes...
we see and understand each other's pains and see each other's lies.
Another similar soul is found and you find yourself smiling.
Your eyes are forced open...
by the world's harsh sound.
The walls and pressure form all around.
But you remember when you closed your eyes.
That there is a place..
you can walk to and hide.

My spouse should be home soon....that's the person I need to have that talk with.
