CORE
~LAYNE STALEY~

Self Imprisonment...
I suppose somewhere inside me
I yearn for freedom from
that which holds me stagnant.
Over exaggeration turns under estimated emotion.
EMOTION...
Why the urgency to hide
and slow the flow of that which could,
and perhaps will,
improve the burning inside?
I am protecting my pain.
It is mine...
and I want so badly
to keep my pain to myself.
But, in doing so,
I am hurting so many who cross me,
or care for me...
Aching for love and acceptance,
only to throw you down
in the latter
of our shared love...
Yet, anger and guilt not shared
between me and you.
You are blamed for all that is
a mystery within myself...burning.
Oh, I pray that I might someday
throw a blanket over that angry child...
If the strength is found
within the CORE of my being.
His tears soak my heart
and weight it down.
I am drowning and I am tired
and so very, very lonely.
I am.....
