Dragging my monsters out of their cage

Put on display for my mind to engage

Process the feelings I try to erase 

Pushing them away isn’t solving the case 

Shine light on the darkness 

The shadows displayed

Experience the movement 

The patterns portrayed

Learn how to change it, repair, make it new

It’s better to try than to leave it to stew 

Bitterness grows the longer it sits

Spreading through the veins

Until it reaches my wits 

Paralyzing the desire to learn to love me

Here it comes, closing in, it’s getting harder to

..breathe
