Trying to escape me...



I try....
I try to escape the old me.
Who will feel me or hold me?
The cold me is only trying to take
over me by it's lonely.

From within I am trying to hold him in.
I try to close him in but I feel as if I
will implode while clawing and rippin' off my skin.
Inside of sin he is one of the worse men.
Inside of bloodbaths he bashes men while he swims
and is no good with any of the women.
I try...
I try to escape him...
My heart beats faster.
I try to replace him.
I start to break him and shake him off.
But then I feel hand fulls of my flesh
inside of his claws. d*mn he's strong!
I never knew that I possessed this fierceness
within myself all along....
Something is going on inside of me.
So I set me beside me inside me I finally see
what went wrong. My heart had definitely changed,
but I was singing the same old song......

Biographically I would say that this is the place where I share about me.Re veered as a someone with morals, values,and positive energy, inspiration, and responsibilities.My possibilities can't possibly be limited to nothing less than exquisite.Welcome to my page, and I'm glad you stopped to visit. A wizard with words, nouns and verbs, sometimes my proverbs are superb like a nerds. Nope let's kick that one to the curb...I use metaphors and similes by my lonesome or in assemblies if this is where you wish to find me anonymously.Now that you know just a little bit about myself....I say welcome to you once again, and please enjoy yourself:-) more…
