-Trapped-
_________
Here we are again.
The darkness greets me as I slip inside.
I feel trapped in my head.
Imprisoned there by my past with nowhere to run and nowhere to hide.
It's been a decade! Maybe two!
And still when I let my guard down it's right there.
I see it over and over.
Betrayal of my trust burning my skin, my mouth, my hair.
Anger burns hot as coal.
The flames raging up and out across my life.
It burns everyone I love.
Trying to keep it contained is like walking on a knife.
I get ahead of it, and burn it right back
Capping the jar when its small enough to fit.
Hopefully its not too late.
Hopefully the good fires are still lit.
