Letting Go

Am I losing my mind?
I feel like I am
My body wants to cut loose
and be free…
My heart begs for passion
and wild abandonment
but…
my mind screams
BE CAREFUL
I want to just let it all go
and
forget about my morals
and 
lust without restraint
To experience wanton
Ecstasy 
without consequence
and…
my conscience

We all have feelings, but we have to be sure and be careful so we won't regret it later. Thanks for sharing ... Lucilla
