[hometext] => prose in the dark
[bodytext] => I want to cry, but if I do they win I can feel the emotion well up inside me you know, how your chin trembles just before you lose it . but I can't let them win, so I suppress it, I hold it in , I lock it away, I hide it from them all, It's buried deep inside me Surrounded by chain link, barbed wire, and field stone the gate is bolted, padlocked,and chained and surrounded by Demons and Devil dogs alike. It is surrounded for my own protection..... Someday , the chain will rust, the fence and stone will fall, the demons and devil dogs again enslaved and on that day, I need to be with you, for on that day one single solitary tear will burst forth and on that day, because of you I can welcome the birth of a new self, a myself, a whole self which I will finally be allowed to be... until that day I will remain CLOSED, GUARDED, AND LOCKED TSW 12-99 [comments] => 1 [counter] => 167 [topic] => 13 [informant] => tsw [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 4 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )
