Your rage
your fears
coalesce into crystalline form.
Wrapped like a chrysalis around a timid heart.
Bruised and Battered
Emotion shuttered away
batten it down again looming threats.
Peering in I ask
won't you come out to play
to live?
The only reply a hollowness of echoes.
Your wounds
your misgivings a hardened shell.
Hidey hole.
I search for a trace of you
the soul that left kisses of blue skies smeared along my breast.
Shouting to you
we were made of stardust
you and I.
Created to dance along clouds of silver linings.
Silence
heavy and dripping.
Humans were never meant to be turtles.
My statement.
My affirmation.
But the only reply I receive are echoes
memories of blue skies.
You are too deep in the shell to hear
perhaps you never cared to.

Deep thoughts packaged in pretty phrases.
My mind a hostage to fear.
A dark room filled with stagnant thoughts.
Memories crouching in a corner
Stark
Painful reminders.
Hands like vices
****** to keep control.
Let it go. Let it go.
It's of my own creation
this cage in which I reside.
The door stands open
Waiting.
A way out
A way to let my mind soar
warmth of freedom.
Let it go. Let it flow
through me
fill my mind
my mouth full of the sweetness.
Rushing rushing
tumbling out.
here it is
here I am.
Untethered, unfettered
Free.
