Honest Thoughts 1

Sometimes

I look at the sky

And long for the sun’s rays

To burn my skin to ash so I can be free once again

To disintegrate my bones

Leaving no proof that my traumas lived in this shell

I often dance a little too close to the fire

Walk hand in hand with the flame

Hoping maybe it might light something inside of me again

Bring this cold air out of my lungs

So, I can belong in this world of color

Instead of only existing in the greys.

I long to be free of the weight

The tension I carry

A constant in my shoulders

In my soul.

I crave a peace

I’m not sure I’ll find

Something I don’t ever remember feeling in this lifetime.

This is so honest....These are things I understand very well.
Only I have felt it once a long long time ago.
Before the tragedy of my life.
I have been different since then, but I am tired of mourning her and the loss.
Maybe mourning is sometimes a mistake.
We allow it carry on too long.
Amazing, I loved reading every word,
100.

burn it down, start all over, rise from the ashes.
but sometimes we just lose incentive...and getting it back is like trying to win the lottery.

Wow, that was deep and quite lonely. But I am sure many of us have felt the same way at times. Peace is something we can find if we allow it to find us. This poem though...very cool.
