Longings of the Heart

Longings of the heart
Secret
Seeking to be known
Yearning to be found, to be heard, understood, validated
passion hides behind the wall of the heart
gasping for air searching for light
lost
fear arises
a mask worn to fool the world
safety with cost
undue sacrifice
silent suffering
deceit....
scars deepen
confusion, chaos
emotions rise
cut open
broken inside
healing lost behind shame
guilt
pain
Longings of the heart made to be set free
