I Dont Know

they say inspiration is born from love
from the beauty around you
from the things you wish to have
the changes you wish to make
And the places you wish to go
that is truth 
but deep inspiration
carrying weight and so many secrets
shielded by alliterations and metaphors
wrapped like an onion bulb
with so many and layers arranged atop each other
is born from pain
pain so deep, it requires an outlet
something to hold on to
a way to release
because it threatens to consume
