Black and Blue

Feelings burn like acid,

Waiting to be released,

Wanting you to open up

The cage in which they are encased.

So many things you've hidden for so long;

It's poisoned your heart and you know it's wrong.

You want to kick, you want to scream,

Instead you just dream

  of something better.

The things that you have never said,

Kicking you inside your head.

You don't know what to do

And now you're black and blue.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Don't linger on hateful feelings, it will only give you ulcers.  Don't be like me and let them destroy you. Rise above it, and get your conflicts resolved... it may involve saying goodbye to things you want or friends you thought you needed.

Yes, Black and Blue. Hi, Nikki. Sometimes making inner peace or resolving inner conflicts does mean having to say goodbye to unhealthy things and people. Thanks for your thoughts, they are good ones. Great poem~!
