Attempt at words
By Musik2MyEyes
Words are swirling around in my head
I see others spill them out from
their mouths, their hearts, their souls
Mine are stifled, dammed
up behind a wall I buildt
Their words are freedom
My words
are confusing when I say them out loud
I don't believe my words,
I don't believe my life
If I say them, then it will be true
I
don't want to face the truth
Any more
I admire others
abilities to write, to speak
Words are a tool
They help
Or
they hurt
But I will tell you this
I sleep with the light on
I am not afraid of the dark
I am afraid of sleep
I am afraid
to dream
The dreams
I am inspired by others...but I cannot
inspire
For you see...I did not see the danger
It was right in
front of me
It called itself love

I love this piece. It is very moving. Words are both a weapon and shield especially when dealing with love for the art or love period.

I hear you about being afraid to sleep and dream. You speak clearly. That is a blessing. Thank you for sharing -- it helps to know that someone else KNOWS what I mean/feel.

I want to thank everyone collectively for the comments, the encouragement, the connections made. It seems by sharing we find others who may not have been through the exact same experience, but have shared similar trauma or emotions. And by knowing this it helps...people want to help each other here. They want people to heal. Or at the very least, the support and kindness shown brings a smile to someone who may not have been smiling before your words came along. THANK YOU

Very sad that something like this is even a possibility. The part about sleeping with the light on/being afraid to dream really struck a nerve. Sadly written but written well, thank you for sharing.

Ok I just tried replying to your message like 3 times and none of them sent...I think. If you get a bunch of the same message - that's why. If you don't get any - I'll keep trying ha.

I agree with Aleas (who happens to have magic words). Taking a breath is sometimes difficult, but that pause can do wonders. Cleansing at its finest. Nice write =)

Funny, I *just* brought this up the other day in conversation - To inspire, all it takes is a word, or as the word implies, in-spire, "to breathe in". Sometimes all it takes is a breath. Chin up, and take a deep one. =p
