What I Want To Be

I hear your voice screaming in the meadow,
words spoken abusively in the shadows.
I know it's not in my head. It grows.

I hear footsteps in the deep dark forest,
running like the sound of fearful horses.
But I know it's not in my head. It echoes

Sometimes I feel like I'm tightly confined and losing my mind.
My loss of ability to save who I want to be is taking over me from behind.

And though who I want to be is not what I always see,
it can't hurt to try.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
