A longing

A longing
A far emotion held tightly away from myself
Almost as if imprisoned, but for good reason
Kept it's distance so I may not feel it pierce my skin
So it may not poison my mood
Or reign over me and dictate the very steps I walk
I want to be it,
but I must not, and will not

Wow this one hit home for me. I think there are parts of all of us that we try desperately not to answer to...but at some points in our lives they are the loudest parts. I always love poems I can relate to...this poem is short which allows for it to portray a general message that pretty much anyone with a little crazy in there head can understand. To often we loose it in the details, but this poem is simply beautiful.

Thank you so much. I'm very pleased to know that you could relate. It's always nice to know you aren't the only one who feels such a way.
