Myst……shes my inner rage…
Whom I’ve selfishly kept in a cage…
I fear her presence more than death…
Because she’ll push me past the depths….
Â
Past the depths into abyss…
The places my heart is scared to kiss…
To kiss and awaken, what’s laying in wait…
To ring the bell, and break through the gate…
Â
She sleeps where my demons lie….
Shes their warden on the inside….
She talks to me from within…
Aching to let me tap her in…
Â
I tell her no, they won’t understand….
Though it would be oh so grand…
To let go of what’s holding me down…
To give her the freedom to darken the town…
Â
We fight day and night…
she wants out, to run, to take flight…
The temptation to give her the key…
Is gently bringing me down to my knees…
Â
But I’m better than that…I want only peace…
Im trying so hard…to be good…to be free…
In desperation she reaches up from within…
Pleading…”please let me begin”….
Â
I cry and scream in agonizing anger…
For all I want is to thank her…
For reaching to the surface and tempting me each day…
Her love for me will never go away….
Â
Â
Â
Â
And so I decide to keep her locked away…
For I’ve no clue what sinister games she would play…
But I take her advice and listen to her voice…
I stand my ground for I have no choice…
Â
Im a mother now, I have to be careful…
For my actions could lead me to peril…
Though if cornered…I will turn feral…
Â
To myst my twisted sister….
I listen and hear each time she whispers…Â
And when she does I listen well…
For she wont allow me to go through more hell…
Sometimes the quickly captured thoughts make for better poetry……this one has.
Being human isn’t easy đź’‹
Thank you, and no it sure isn’t
I’ve found that all emotions serve a purpose…we just can’t serve them. This is a brilliant piece. Fear and anger can be all consuming when given free rein
Most definitely. Ive always been a swee and kind person. But I dont like bei6pushed or my kndn3ss taken for weakness and used. I know i have another side to me ive just never had to use her. Im almost at the point of opening the door completely.

It’s always a reward to me to see you’ve posted something.
This is a strong write, surrounded by the songish rhymes. As if singing it under your breath as you venture into a struggle.
It’s better than you think.
Write it out, every time. It’s our sanity’s sake.
Thank you all for your kind words. I’m writing again this time mostly about strength and not wanting to wake my inner beast but its being tested. We’ll see what idea people deathly want to see
