Inside Out
Rages
She hides a hunger
That burns like fire
Hiding there under
A secret desire
Igniting the thunder
That fans the flames higher
A wild eyed wonder
Her instincts the liar
She tries to fight it
To hold it down deep
Kept it locked up inside her
Makes her feel like a freak
But now it longs to be free
Ravaging like a savage
Her imaginations disease
One seeking salvation
A warriors plea
Now filled with frustration
Deeper than the sea
She wants to surrender
Let it take its control
Stop trying to defend her
Once pure, spotless soul
But for now she’ll continue
To push it down into the hole
And she’ll remain the venue
With her demons in control

Ties That Bind
If God was the spool and we were the thread Life made us the fool and loves power is dead If people would do the things that they said Love could heal the wounds and would win in the end But what is and what is hoped for are not always the same Love is a list of unfortunate chores and a myriad of redundant games

Photo is scary but your words are lovely.
That was so intense and I loved it!
Kelli, that's a bad demon!
That photo at the top is so scary and gruesome! I loved your poem and the feelings you were expressing.
