Bizarre (following)

9th October 2022

It’s hard being out in the world,
so much energy and emotion to deal with (inside and out),
and my heart …my heart it is easily drawn,
and my soul ...my soul old as the stars yet naïve it feels,
and I ...I am left vulnerable and stuttering,
fretting and over-feeling,
…reeling.

I should retreat into myself, into safety,
but I am driven to partake by forces I don’t understand,
things inside of me that should garner no hold,
yet they are pervasive, they demand,

…and I follow,
I follow them into the wild (where wild things are),
knowing it is to my peril, but not saying no,
…how bizarre :/.

Prompt: So much energy.
