Twisted Inside

I'm twisted inside, 
like an old oak tree 
that was once strong and strait, 
now a gnarled mess of my own skin. 
Blowing violently 
with no control over my fate. 
I feel frozen, 
so cold that the heat of a thousand suns 
could not thaw my cold, cold, heart, 
and I've become a living time capsule
of my own miserable life. 
I'm learning to live half alive, 
a part of me dead,
rotting inside,
and filling me with filth, 
yet to my surprise, 
no one really tried. 
I'll soon become a shell,
hollow and empty. 
Everyday I feel myself draining 
of blood 
and the light that you might call a soul. 
I'm twisted, filthy, frozen shattered inside. 
I'm dark, dirty, and filled with sorrow and hate.

Oh the slow poison of death, fear, hate, unlove . . . you need a Tom Bombadil, a character in J. R. R. Tolkien "Lord of the Rings" . . . who sings to the trees. The heart needs to hear the sweet sounds of hope that seeps deep to the roots . . .
