Inside myself beside myself

Inside myself beside myself

A Poem by Jessica Lynn Polley

I am in a better place than now, 
a more solid time than this.
Somewhere that everything I can be...
mixes with everything that is.
With a softer cushion to land on,
and somewhere safe to plant my feet.
I thank my lucky stars Ive found it...
what ever it may be. 
I solidify in my structer
I am strong and unmoved.
I have let go of every peace of me...
that was holding on to you.
I do not have much left.
But what I have is real.
And the stone cold heart inside of me 
is finally starting to heal.
A rush of warmth engulfs me
I rest safe inside myself.
As long as I have this treasure
I do not need anybody else.
I am not above all others
I take my humbling bow.
I just want to be seperate,
from the here and the now.

I want nothing from this world 
I want only to make my own.
I want to snuggle right into these words.
I want to go home.

...and then I wake up...
reality sinks in
the pitter patter of my heart
stops...and starts again
I was so close this time
to never waking up
to letting go of everything...
to finally having enough.
