Jean Murray Poet Verse

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.

Just James October 23, 2016 at 2:31 AM Deep inside I see a heart of gold! Jean Murray October 23, 2016 at 3:25 AM 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.

Seosamh De Burca October 19, 2016 at 6:53 PM 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." Jean Murray October 20, 2016 at 4:38 PM Yes. I believe the worst is behind me Seosamh. Here's hoping at any rate.

Probir Gupta October 18, 2016 at 6:36 AM The poem too seems to have been set free so happily from your thoughts ... nice ... Jean Murray October 18, 2016 at 9:49 AM 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.
