Shark

Feel the need to free this beast
Or tame it at the very least
My chest is heavy, full of grief
As I still stand in disbelief
Searching desperately for some relief
From the feelings brought on by this thief
Made me separate, lost out at sea
The shark keeps swimming on the outer reef
Coming back from time to time
Circling me, taking small bites
Then in for the kill again
Taking what's mine
And it gets so exhausting
I'll just let you take bites of me
Your constant accosting
I've got no more fight in me
Then off you will go
To leave me alone
Relieved indeed
For some reprieve
From this storm that reigns furious
Flashing fire and chaos
Tsunami of feelings
Churns deep under silence
My heart is still reeling
With splashes of violence
My mind is still seething
Grasping for balance
I cling to the knowledge
That this is just a small part of me
The light that's inside
Is so bright that its blinding me
When I don't let it out
For the whole world to see
Stop witholding myself
Let my star finally shine
Living with purpose
Giving what alone's mine
These things keep me somewhat
Attached to my mind
Random ropes to hold onto
When I cannot find
My way out of the dark
Wisdom casts sparks
Leading me back
To the truth of my heart
