it’s hardly perceptable
invisible to the natural eye
these queasy feelings
snakin round my insides
squeamishly pushing against my skin
wanting to slip out
to slide across my face

i gasp
then grin
i’m the gatekeeper
i hold prisoner what I will
be still!
settle down!
you’re going nowhere!

my feelings are my own
i’ll show them
when I’m ready
or never
or maybe

or never

or

maybe, i’m the prisoner

here

just inside my skin

I felt like that at times. Hard to keep some things in though.

dont you just love it when you're disoriented and confused?   me too!

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

Abbe~
This one speaks my name~
I'm a diligent 'gatekeeper' so as not to worry those around me~

Nicely done~
