Something more…

I build a wall around my heart

not wanting for it to get hurt

I surrounded myself with poetry

and wisdom only to find myself

wanting more…something more

to color my days and to stir my nights

Here I go again, swimming in my own tears

an overflowing river of self-loathing, self-pity

and all mixed-up of twisted feelings.

It’s a lonely river… a roller-coaster ride

to & from hell.

I’ve been on this river before and so I am familiar

with it’s twists and turns. I always tell myself to buckle up

because I don’t see myself getting out of this river anytime soon.
