20 yrs of keeping it inside. Now, I can't hide I'm afraid of the shrink Afraid of what you think Why did I keep it secret for so long When I was weak You would have been strong Holding me close When I needed it most I can't change the past Forever inside it will last So many questions you must have Are you afraid to ask? I opened the box the other night Opening it to the pain it held tight Exposing it to the light Locked away years ago Buried down deep below Never planning to tell another soul But some how it escaped Leaving me in this state Feeling so drained My head reliving the past Please tell me this won't last Telling me it not my fault But holding it in my secret vault. |

How about "Secrets" It is very nice I don't buy temporary insanity as they murder defense. Because people kill people. That's and animal instinct. I think breaking into someone's home and ironing all their clothes is temporary insanity. |

Excellent poem, Cheryl. Full of inner pain and turmoil. Well done. I'm at a loss as to another suggestion for a title....other than maybe...'Exposed' Denise |

I feel your pain through this even though I have no idea what it is all about. Illusive Cage Turmoil Released Pain Contained Persistent Past I don't know this was fun but I have FAITH you will figure it ALL out. |

Dolphins3- 'Vaulting'would be my choice- you have vaulted leaps and bounds over an obstacle that many have stumbled on. Good for you to release it. God bless. ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
