There is a pit in your stomach Threatening to eat you alive From the inside out Little fingers Tiny claws Driving you deeper There are no monsters No creeping in the night Those claws are yours And yours alone Can you dig deep enough To find what is salvageable What is not coated with rage Hatred Can you find your spark again That flame that kept you alight Dig deeper You can feel it Behind those choked words Clenched teeth Behind steel and stoneĀ The broken home you've made for yourself Burning, burning Ashes and embersĀ Be the Phoenix you always wanted to be Rise above and be reborn Or let the flames consume you I'm a little rusty, I know, but somethings just need to get let out. |

learning to face our fears and move on is a universal thing we all have to deal with in different degrees... some fears are our own making, some fears come from outside threats... you may be "rusty" but then eagin... the best way to remove rust is to use the tool.. enjoyed your offering |
