Like a flood

Written at a very stressful time for me, at a time when I felt like I had writer’s block for a couple months. Then the clouds lifted and all my emotions came out like a flood.

Only a few people understand and that’s hard to accept sometimes.
A well of emotions that have been contained inside for far too long.
Like a river longing for the rain, after a dry hot summer was my writing
Like a levee trying to hold back a roaring ocean but unable to

So many feelings swirling in my mind, wanting to be written but not being able
So many emotions to be shared with the world, but only shared with my pillow
Thoughts I wanted to share, but was scared to write because I didn’t feel safe
Things that were wrong, I thought were wrong with me not the things around me

If you want a glimpse of what’s going on in my mind, how I unwind
Would you like to grab a meal, or a go on a walk, sometimes that’s what is best
Not always talking but sometimes just reflecting, and thinking of the future
Thinking of what could be, and thinking about the days ahead
