I Stand - My MOST favorite thing I have ever written

I burn with rage when the flood of ill repent memories rushes me!

I condemn myself for all the idiocy I allowed myself to carry out or endure.

The flood has no remorse for me; it drowns me with its acid recollections.

I stand bold and unflinchingly brave, but deep inside… I curl up with fear and pain remembering all the tears and wretchedness.

I stand as it rushes me with all the inanity that I have accomplished in my lifetime.

I stand gallantly bearing its blows, but slowly falling apart like the sand of a child's castle when the tide comes in.

I stand as it shrieks…L E T G O…L E T G O….L E T G O

I stand as I feel myself overwhelmed with the wrath of past wounds…

I stand as I am submerged in this burning flood of pain, anger and rage

I stand and a fury overtakes me… I scream; "I CAN'T LET GO!"

I stand as this flood of blazing torture now whispers to me… "You can never heal if you never let go of the pain."
