My Private Nightmare
The final part of me waiting to be released
Blooming, growing inside - all consuming
Encompassing my very being, yet meant to be shared
Damaged with beliefs it would not be felt again
Safe alone inside, locked away to heal
Suddenly it is felt again in all its brilliance
Somehow it escaped, now demanding expression
Yearning for fulfillment, still alive, still real
The insistence is felt but must be held back
Though meant to be shared, so many doubts
The fear it will be crushed forever
Don't want to feel it, but it's arisen
Undeniable any longer, unsure what to do
Tearing me apart, haunting my nights desiring expression
But too often wounded by its weakness
The others who've taken of this amazing treasure
Enjoyed the best until they believed it worthless
Still it lives on, growing in beauty, in value
Unable to suppress, it has a life of its own
Yet if it were wanted, I might release it
And risk the inevitable hurt that would come
Beautiful feeling inside, avoiding the dreams it creates
Destroying myself in this private nightmare.

So much distrust, hurting, and lonelyness in so few words. Let there be light. Smiles.
Every day brings about opportunity, enjoy and live your dreams, they will be your legacy if you live them.
Disconcerting to say the least, Jolynne!
