My emotions
motion my mind.
To chain my heart,
to a small place.
Somewhere quiet and safe.
Though I stand and look like an ordinary man.
Laughing and poking fun at my friends.
Somewhere inside of me.
I am just a little boy,
clutching my teddy bear.
Rocking back and forth
shaking my head in grief.
I imagine an Angel of the Lord
cradling myself while I am in pain.
In this darkness,
it rains.
I speak and groan
in a language unknown.
All the while I work,
I read and I study.
Yet, inside I have nothing.
Though I know God is with me,
all I feel is the
nothingness of a broken heart.
