To Dispel Negativity

Blessed release is what I seek.

The ugliest I don’t dare to speak but at night I dare to scream,
I can’t help but feel trapped in my own mind,
There are things I can not let out but
would prefer to hold on to so that no one will see,
And I am swallowed and strangled by all this grime.

I feel nothing but hurt.

I feel nothing but insecurity as this negativity holds me tight,
I feel trapped by these thoughts in my head
and they get worse as I lay silent in my bed,

There are things that I just do not understand,
things I wish never existed,
Things I wish I never had to go through,
had to see, had to think.

Hard to breathe but I know I can’t dwell on all the bad that I think,
It’s time for me to release this pain that I often feel before I drown,
There are things in this world that deserve the forefront,
And things that deserve to be pushed back,

So as I speak and as I hear,
As I sit quaking in fear,
I dare to dispel this negativity that wishes to hold me captive
To look forward to positivity that is in my sight.

A young woman with a wide ranging love for all things literature and nature so much so I dream of being both a Biologist and a Novelist.
