Once In A While
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once in a while
I wish
I was someone else..
Someone outside
this misery..
I want so much
to communicate..
But words fail me..
I want so much
to reach out..
But my arms are
frozen to my side..
I hide in myself..
Then I get lonely..
But I cannot reach out..
I back away..
behind my wall
built long ago..
Built by tiny hands
But stronger than you know..
I know it is bad..
but this is MY way.
The ONLY way.
Once in a while..
I have to hide..
To survive..
I know this
makes people wonder..
They wonder if..
I am all right.
They wonder if ..
I am still alive.
Wonder if ..
they did something.
Said something wrong.
Once in a while
I pretend ..
I am gone.
I get afraid..
Afraid of friends..
Afraid of love..
Afraid of life..
Afraid of myself..
Once in a while..
My mind touches my heart..
Takes me to the darkest
basement of my soul..
Makes me face memories
I try to let go..
Then I hear my heart..
A percussion symphony
beating wildly..
My thoughts..
are drowned out
by this enormous sound..
My heart
The ultimate instrument..
Echoing down..
To places..
No one..
Has ever found..
I want to let go..
Oh God..
I don't know how..
To stop this feeling..
Of Once in a while.

Erica, well written poem. It is hard to overcome emotional scars. I really don't know if it can be done. Many show a tough exterior but are just as vulnerable on the inside as we are.
I agree with Dana's comments. That line is fantastic ..."Built by tiny hands but stronger than you know" is my favorite.
