A torturous presence.
Within my own walls.
Extracting the life out of me.
Slowly.
I am torn.
It doesn't feel right, talking of this - here
in my own private space.
Where it's sacred to me.
Defiling that which is precious
Perhaps it should be left alone -
this sickening feeling,
Deep within my bones.
Unbalanced & surreal, with the sensation of a nightmare -
one that I know I will not awaken from.
And in this new reality, this here and now -
I know I am lost.
Surrounded by the deepest darkest Jungle,
and I fear, there is no way out.
But if I do not open my heart, allow myself to breathe, allow myself to speak...
If not here...
then where?
