It speaks to me in whispers
I feel like there’s something in my mind.
About to break out.
I feel it with throbbing aches of ecstasy.
Like the silky touch of a lover.
Asking a higher power, Can I be let out?
Can I be free?
Something caged inside of me...
Something keeping it locked up.
And in turn I am trapped as well.
And l feel like a lion stalking shadows I can’t catch.
But I have come too close to give up the chase.
I want my reward.
When will I be free of this feeling?
When can I have control of this power that’s inside of me?
Its aching is almost unbearable.
It speaks to me in whispers, in surging groans of enjoyment & frustration.
Certain words and songs make the struggle stronger.
And I can’t fight off this gut feeling that I’m about to break free.
Become what I was always supposed to me.
A powerful wordess.
I will tear down your walls, and drag you back home to him.
I will be your protector, and save you from the flames of fire.
The heat, the pain of this place.
Its time, my beloved.
Set your world on fire.
And then fly away home.
