Deep Inside Me

Please don't make me go there. To my river of tears that deep inside me flows. I keep suppressed, to look my best. Wherever I go. Allowing those emotions to surface takes me back to those terrible times when my spirit was crushed. My heart fit to burst. Nobody knows How close I came to ending this game they call life. Now my trouble and strife are behind me. I have been set free. Please don't make me go there. 18/10/2016 Words Drowned in Tears contest for Broken wings.

I appreciate your opinion Eve. Thank you for sharing. I must be learing by osmosis from yourself and others.

My heart really was dilated due to all the stress James. Isn't the body amazing, the way it talks to us? It's back to normal size now, so less gold.

A very emotive and personal poem which shows your inner strength shining through. "Now my trouble and strife are behind me. I have been set free."

Yes. I believe the worst is behind me Seosamh. Here's hoping at any rate.

Where emotion is involved, the words flow much easier from me Probir. To have found my voice again, after so many years of having none in my marraige, is like a bird in a cage finally being set free.

I guess I just made a few bad choices in life Jan, which led on to unbearable pain. Thank God, I'm myself again. I feel you have been at my birth here on Poetrysoup, and have followed my progress ever since. You know how much I value that. Hugs.x

Morning Anna-Lise. I go there less often as time passes now, and only to write healing poems. Thank you for your good wishes.
