Open the locked door to hell Let the demon screams be free Crack open this hollowed shell Shed my skin for all to see Black tears fall from barren soul Slice open scars of despair To drown in pain is the goal There is no hope of repair Forsaken refuge calls out No one left to fill the halls Echoes of stillness shout Angel of death climbs the wall Flames of torment persevere Shames vine adorns the archways Doors of freedom disappear Torment blocks hidden stairways The way to freedoms gate found Destroy this cage that holds all Watch it crumble to the ground Fear now makes a curtain call The walls come down around me Do I flee or stand and wait Begging for them to crush me Only death will vindicate Then finally free to fly Beyond darkness of the past Brilliant as the butterfly Unbroken and pure at last |

Excellent expression of feelings here...I've been there, I know I have wings..I just wish I knew how to make them fly...beth "And I still believe you can never have too much fiction because reality is such a bore..." - REA |

Holly, Hey you!! So nice to see you post. I can feel the pain and torment in this one my friend. Have faith, the butterfly will emerge anew. I just know it. Hope to catch up with you soon. My thoughts and prayers are with you. ***HUGS*** Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

You know that I feel your pain as if it were my own and I do know that you will get through all of this. It has been written and you know that once it is written then it is going to happen. Just given time my sweet friend. You have the paths in front of you and at the end there are still the orange blossoms in the tree. Different paths by different folks with the same goal will eventually meet in the end no matter what so hang in there. Hugs to you. |

It's hard to find your way past the past sometimes... and you have evoked that need well here. Hugs  K"He looked across the silky surface of the Severn... it was a famously difficult river with fierce tides..." From Jack Maggs |

You know how I feel about this one my friend but I must say this is an excellent description of metamorphosis . Spread those wings and fly! Take Care! "The heart and soul have no illusion of boundries when friendship is the quest" ~ My Angel. |
