A Cleansing
By Hippygirl
A CLEANSINGI drown myself in life’s everyday petty events,ignoring pain and emptiness.I feel it welling up inside me, threatening,wanting to surface.Ignoring all those unwanted feelings,pushing it down deeper.Knowing that someday I will lose the battle,succumb to what’s real.I have learned life’s ultimate trick,denial of pain and anger.I feel the cries and wails like a churning sea,but no one can hear.I am losing the battle that is raging,feeling myself surrender.I fall to my knees, prostrate on the floor,tears streaming like hot fire.Sobs wrenched and torn from my gut,a cleansing of my soul.By Hippygirl Written November 29th, 2001 © on Nov 28 2001 04:43 PM PST 18 • 0 • 1
