Freaked Out

I do seethe.
I can't sleep.
I can't adore life.
It's difficult to breathe.

My mind is blocked.
I'm stuck as well.
Why must I live
inside this shell?

Although I feel you
when we touch.
I long to live.
Is that too much?

These voices say
that I'm not loved
and that people will
be gone if shoved.

Or anyway
no matter what I do
all by myself
I hope that's not true.

As you behold
I'm freaked out.
I'm unaware
Of life's drought.

They say to leave 
if love don't serve.
How will I speak?
That seems absurd.

I hope it's true
to love yourself
can be achieved
as with fine health.

I'm so scared.
Won't let it show.
Don't leave me be.
Oh SPIRIT glow.

It is wonderful to see the internal dialogue of self reflecting self.
