Inside of me there's a calling
a hunger that's so deep
I close my eyes avoiding it at all costs
Fearful of what will occur
should I express it or suppress it
If I touch it will it engulf me
will I loose who i am
or will i become someone i think i am
or just a shadow of a passing fantasy
Someone gets close
I feel his touch grazing it
The fear ripples through me
Did he open it enough to see
or not even notice what he touched?
The piece he grazed
is raging out of control
trying to come out from within
Pushing to break free let go
but fear overcomes it
The struggle is strong
yet is stays exposed
waiting wanting and wishing
for him to come
to reach within
opening more
