Two sides

It's been stessful lately 
Felt the pressure greatly

I am fighting two sides
ONE who's free, one who hides

I was locked for so long
The pull in me so strong

To be guilty and ashamed
To be broken and blamed

To answer the masters call
Step over the edge and fall

Into the arms that oppress
My ability to truly express

Into the arms that will lie
Don't comfort me as I cry

Don't wrap me up in safety
It's been overwhelmingly lately 

Your mind will forget the rest
Only flash to you the best

Shielding you from the worst
But I need the bubble to burst

Because I AM worth more
The abuse I can not ignore

A fantastic write SHELLEY!!......the staccato-type delivery of the phrases works perfectly......and the unique formatting is definitely bonus here as you deliver some stellar poetic insights like ~ 

                  ~ "Your mind will forget the rest
                       only flash to you the best..."

Psychologically, that is truly profound......and the kind of insight that ONLY comes with experience.......ALL STARS & PINNED!!....STELLAR stuff dear poet sister!!.....Bravo!!......LOVE & ROCKETS!!.......T xo  : )

How

I love you and I always will
It's scary how much I do still
How much I wish I could change...

Again

I don't know where to go with this
I don't know how to be
It's typical of me to bury things...

I can't ignore the beating drums in my heart

It's like you and I have never been apart...
