soulful

 
gently now don't disturb the quickened soul
painfully sensitive and aware
I keen inside myself

delicate nature masked by pain
I hurt inside
it's kept hidden lest the world get in

no one knows me as you do
evolving in truth
still running back to what soothes

I don't understand many of my feelings
what is beautiful within me and what is not
I want to grow to leave childish things behind

cherished memories mementos of who I was
linger in my sacred halls
reminding me of who I am
I am a sum of these pains
my soul flavored so beautifully

stained glass regret
a soulful reminder of a loveliness
I am yet to fully realize
