Hard to swallow

Hard to swallow

A Poem by Emily

Filling up on thoughts of how this happened. I have lost myself in the midst of all that has gone wrong. I feel deeply the attributes of being small. I cling to what I know and what I desire. Making it hard to caress the wound. Penetrating the mind with showers of think. You have awakened my intuition. Beading away at the time gone by; I mourn this revolution within myself.

Freeing myself of being this prisoner any longer. I thought that I did that long ago; perhaps I was just Innocent. Breathing at my own awareness. Deepening my soul to the core of relentlessness. Restlessness, deepening this sadness, showering my glory, paving a new path, the new path. Treading forth a new vista of hope and pain to grow in a way that makes one whole. Peaceful, tranquil, fearless in this decision to take a stand for what I believe in. Focusing on me and the right in front of me. I love, I hate, I feel, I cry; I'll wait.

I know you stated that your presentation is not what you'd like to be reviewed, but it wouldn't feel right for me to not comment on it, simply because I think this particular format (or lack thereof, whichever is more accurate) works very well with this piece. There's both freedom and a desperation to it somehow, and that fits with the content perfectly.
Anyway. The content itself really resonates with me. It's brutal and earnest, and I can identify with every word. Wanting to wipe the slate of your thoughts and personality clean and start over. A revolution within your own body and soul against the tyranny of your mind and those around you who shaped it. Beautifully and powerfully written, through and through. I deeply enjoyed reading it.

The drums beat behind me. I am alone like most people - even though I live with many. You will never understand how easy it is to disengage myself from meaningless people. more..
