Barrier

No

Simply no

 

Looking into my palms, with much uncertainty

while being overwhelmed by a sense of anxiety   

 

My hands feel like a cemetery

all cold and filled with heartache and sorrow

no amount of internal screaming

will wash away the shroud of stubbornness and impulse

 

So many words spoken instantly followed by regret

Unable to keep focused on any glow, any potential, any smile

 

Yes

Yes my arms are aching for keeping the world at arm’s length

Yes I will ensure that they stay there

 

But no, I am not heartless

You aren't heartless, but you live in a heartless world.

Sometimes we have to sit in that quiet of our own hearts and minds.. to get a better view of whats there before we invite others in.. At least that's how I read this.. Makes me connect to those times when solitude was safer..then risking hurting myself or others..xo Excellent write..xo
