Tonight I Face You

over analyzing my life has resulted in failure to live it  

emotions are meant to be felt not thought about  
 
I must first feel them to stop fearing them  
 
overthinking has crept me dangerously close to catatonia  
 
total failure to feel equates to paralyzation  
 
tonight I wade deep into my pain  
 
as I deny my lungs they burn as does my soul  
  
I cannot hold out any longer  
going, going, gone  
 
my mouth contorts into a hideous scream  
 
as I breakdown my body betrays me  
 
vigorously I inhale all that has been festering  
 
denial the catalyst that has transformed pain into bitter bile  
 
but pain once felt dissipates if the mind will release it  
 
purposefully bidding my mind to be still in my search for peace  
 
desperately seeking oblivion timely discovering solitude  
 
after freeing my pain I can allow myself a peaceful rest  
only then can I awaken to embrace the beauty within myself
