Self Imprisonment

[Maverick31]

Self Imprisonment


I suppose somewhere inside me

I yearn for freedom from

That which holds me stagnant

Over exaggeration turns underestimated

Emotion...

Why the urgency to hide and

Slow the flow of that which could

And perhaps will, improve and

Heal the burning inside

I am protecting my Pain

It is mine

And I so badly want to keep my

Pain to myself

But in doing so I am hurting

So many who cross or care for me

Aching for love and acceptance

Only to throw you down in the latter

Of love and shared love

Yet anger and guilt not shared between

Me and you

You are blamed for all that is a mystery

Within myself – Burning

Oh I beg that I might someday

Throw a blanket over that angry child

If the strength is found within the

Core of my being...

Tears soak my heart and weight

It down

I am tired, I am numb and I am so very, very lonely

I am...

[Nelson]

These are truly heart wrenching lyrics.
But never the less , a job well done.
Also heard Wiley's take.
A really good job.
Keep it up.

-Nelson

Thanks man!

Wow Maverick, this is deep man - really deep - like Nelson said "heart wrenching" lyrics.  Really cool what PJ did with these words - the spoken heart felt word.....

These lines really got me today as I was re-reading this post & listening to PJ's take on this:

Why the urgency to hide and

Slow the flow of that which could

And perhaps will, improve and

Heal the burning inside

I am protecting my Pain

It is mine

And I so badly want to keep my

Pain to myself
