Suppression;
the super ego Freud called it,
the conscious inhibition
of an impulse the dictionary defines it, torture
I acknowledge it
as. Light fades
when it is encapsulated;
the bitter reality of truth
illuminates. Questions, thoughts,
doubts of what will come of
me. As I stand here before
you, an image of God's grace,
the beast inside of me
begging to be unleashed. With
every glance, touch, kiss
from you; slowly killing me
softly. I whisper to you
"you just need a friend
right now". I want you right now
my inner afflictions cry out;
but who can hear you
when no one knows you
exists.
