Body ravaged by an unknown being
Time escapes, an unsettled fleeing
Torn and tattered in bits and pieces
No longer feeling simple releases
Fighting the fury kept deep inside
Seeking the comfort that’s long been denied
Hidden apart from an every day dream
Visions aren’t always what they seem
Clustered around with anger and strife
Wondering why this has taken my life
So many dreams have been swept away
Agony brings yet another day
Of fighting a battle with ghosts deep inside
Seeking the comfort that’s long been denied

When we try to please everyone around and suppress our own needs and dreams one day it breaks through. I don’t know if I got it right but that came to my mind. Realizing what we kept ourselves from for much too long and so much that got stuck within during that time.

Interesting take on this one, Erika. I was writing about illness and how it can one’s life without you actually dying. I suppose this poem has several meanings.

Perhaps it has…. and perhaps I simply got glued to certain lines and put them into a different context…. lol! Anyway, it was inspiring 😁
