caution

by Melinda Sordino

my brain screams at me to listen, keep away from the feeling, the light, the happiness. go back to the dark, you know what to expect there. you do not know this joy, this pleasure. out of it there must be some form of pain, some reminder that i am alive. but still i hope. things will be different, life will be different. i won't need to be thin, i will be loved. i know it won't matter. i am lying to myself again....stay back, stay away, don't let him get under your skin....be careful, dont get hurt, but find the love that you need....

An interesting look at the fears of a change in life/lifestyle; that's what it reads as for me. The fear and struggle are captured excellently.

I have been in darkness...and too shied from the light...not an easy place to be. I hope one day you can walk fully into the light without searching for shadows!
