Crept into my mind disturbing what I thought I had already settled and disputed

Arrived into my concentrated thoughts and changed it's consistency to highly diluted

Ran around in circles like a mouse in a maze

Leaving me in a state of confusion that lingered around for days

Unlocked hidden truths that were so carefully repressed 

Left me naked in my vulnerability though fully clothed and nicely dressed

Listed and presented the facts like the labels of nutrition

I had been silently working on my flaws so I thought.. patiently waiting for the results to come to fruition

In addition..

The realization came to play 

of all the thoughts that have floated in my head that I've never mustered up to say

Is it fear or just plain inability?

Fear of opening up too much or just unable to express myself unless it's through affections.. like only physically

I fall short in the department of reactions that involve my words..

I'm not sure if it's because in the past I felt like I was never truly heard..

Or are those just excuses I've created to keep from communicating real raw emotion

Sometimes to me it just feels like a person who can't swim diving head first into an ocean

Afraid to drown... afraid to be free

But then who am I really if I'm not saying everything that's bottled up inside of me?

Initially..

I disagreed with the idea that I was passive aggressive 

And hardly expressive..

I believed I was just complicately simple, speak my mind without being excessive..

Maybe this part of me that is locked away has always wanted to be free

..and maybe it' will remain this way until someone unlocks it with a key..

It is true that the who we are is the what we are no one sees, only you hold the key to your domain and be careful with it you don't want it to fall into the wrong hands. Keep On Flowing! 🔥

Thanks for this beautiful and profound share, ari84. Took me back many decades ago before I too became like a butterfly oozing out of a cocoon that I thought was a prison rather than the metamorphosing womb of coming into the reality of my true self. Again, thanks for the memories. Peace and Love, mlowe5.

Key thoughts, beginnings... of dealing with impressions/expressions, passions with the intensity unwinding ...our hidden identities. Great work is ...in progress
