Inside me

I had to get to my hideaway

before a coup took place

inside me.

Doornails, dirt, demons, dentists,

had formed a stratification

of hurt and humiliation

inside me.

I had fluff in my emotional bank

and the little success I had drunk,

appeared and disappeared,

together with unwarranted fear,

inside me.

Yet there was hope

that one day the churning would stop

inside me.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this when I was going through a particularly rough patch in my life.
