Out of my mouth came an unknown word,
from somewhere above; it could only be heard
by the bearer of self.
Creeping up out of my chest
were slithery scales moving towards my breath.
It scraped the inside of the ice cold walls
leaving shavings behind to show power and control.
Immense pain I felt to release this burden
although it was given without any permission.
Aggravating my inner self
I began the process of releasing what will eventually help.
I can endure the pain as it continues to scrape
what was so faithfully built
for my own personal sake.
Rising to the surface
leaving residue behind,
doubt overwhelms
finding a deep place to preside.
Feeling a slight warmth
knowing there is strength
understanding the great truth
to name is to give way.
I release it from my lips as the pressure begins to ware
It becomes more clear and visible to see
that the burden was no one other than me.
"Forgive myself" were the words that were spoken
Learn to love even when in pain
for if God can forgive, so you also may

Your words...there is something about your words! It seams like they have life and feelings. I know you my friend... though when I read your poems, I see that there is so much I don't know yet. Keep playing with the words. They paint a beautiful picture of who you really are. prietena ta ;)
Woah, that was truly beautiful. You really have a way with words Camille.
Is it me or does the last comment seem kinda creepy.
