The awakening
06.18.06 (7:23 pm) [edit] Emotions simmer, Sitting unobserved, Out of sight out of mind as the saying goes, Except things repressed Continue to boil, The pressure often below awareness, Until one sunny day One word, Or a look, Will bring the restraints crashing down, The magma rising to the surface, The explosion changing the landscape Destroying friendships, Marriages, Perhaps a life ended without warning, The one left not knowing what happened, Not understanding the cold rage that came to life, Its slumber over making up for lost time. She was so nice, so quiet everyone said, Who would have known what lay underneath, Perhaps never able to really trust another again, The knowledge that we are all dangeorus Our depths hiding from the mind What lies underneath Too much to absorb Illsusions ripped away by the tragedy, Naive innocence lost. |
