My strength and power has been clouded. I no longer have control. My blood holds still as my heart has lost the easy rhythm.
Keep it in my mind, don't blurt it out. Let my soul stay, mustn't let it show.
The sun looks warm, but I'm frozen cold.
I scream ad plea, can't let them see me.
My imagination is full of steps, chances, and bravery.
I wanna let go, I know I'll explode, but I must do what I'm told.
The silent tears feel like a drum. I just wanna be heard, like lyrics that must be sung.
Just need to breath, I must find the meanings of being me.
I'm a broken ***** glass that's only been cleaned. I am rose that has been painted black. My petals begin to think it's real, they fall one by one cast under a spell.
My arms and legs shake, I want to let them know. I repeat, " Just breathe, it's okay. Just let go.".
I want to unfold, like a creased paper that should have been rolled, and let the things that must be said, be told.
The dark scary spikes pull at my skin hoping that it rips, bleeding out from within.
His presence is a shudder. I try to stay hidden, but no matter where I go he grabs me by the arm and commands that I stay with him.
I was an artifact that should have been released, but was stolen.
I cry and beg, "Please don't hurt me!". I kick and claw screaming, "Stay away from me!".
I open my eyes and look around Thanking God it was just a dream.
I lay back down upon my pillow, and smile at my love who lays next to me. I look closer and see that he's the dark fellow.
I sit up, I breathe, " It's okay, just let go.". He's gone forever, and now I know freedom. Imaginations become reality.
All I had to do was Just Let Go!
