To weep from my sadness

To scream from my anger

I wish I could let go without asking why

I only felt justified in feeling

When I could explain why I felt

Intellectualizing my subconscious has left me pent up

So much has gone unsaid

Unresolved

Not knowing how to open up in the moment

I’ve hid away seething and sobbing all alone

The person in my mirror became the enemy more and more every day

Self betrayal led to self mistrust

And the cycle got away from me

Until I didn’t know who I was anymore
