It always sat there, thou I never looked.
I can feel its voice slash cold inside off me, when I come close.
I hear its voice inside of, me.
Simultaneously my self taught instincts
still catch me
Sweep me away in their current.
I scream why!
Why are you taking me?
As they pull me away to a secret place.
.Where I sit.
Confused.
Mystified.
Building anger.
Why do I feel this?
Feel this?
Do I?
Look up river?
No.
I see what I just fled.
I turn away?
Yes.
For I see nothing but what I feel inside projected in between me and you.
And I hate it.
I want to be able to swim up stream like a salmon, fighting its way back,
the only way it knows how.
I want to run against the wind and come first every time.
I want to soar with my hand in yours, and love every part of it.
But here I sit,
looking up rivered.
Wet and cold,
confused and concussed,
Wondering,
how to
heal?
My pain sits deep inside
protected by debris built up from so many years.
Shake it off?
But?
I feel it raw.
