I wrote this out of the blue. Thinking of taking it to therapy but wondered if it meade sense to someone other than me? Does anyone know what I mean?
It's trapped inside
It cant escape
It's bigger than me
But what is it?

It causes pain
It causes fear
It crushes me inside
But what is it?

It's like a sickness
A bird in a cage
It needs to break free
But what is it?

What can I do
How can I help
I want to release it
But what is it?

I squash it down
It starts to escape
It's going to kill me
And nobody knows

Do we all have it
Is it just me
Does it need to escape
Why can't I set it free

I dont have much time
Its growing again
What do I do when it consumes me
Please help

Yes. It's all those feelings we cannot bear.

That is some very powerful writing. Thank you for sharing it. It makes sense to me, but on a very emotional level and I am having a hard time verbalizing that right now.

Thanks for sharing. It connects with me deeply, like an inner strength that Im fighting down because im so stubborn and wont let myself heal.

That was very moving...thank you for sharing. I don't really have words right now, but I can assure you I totally identify.

Thanks for posting. It's been worrying me all day why I posted it as I am a very private person. I am afraid I was looking for some form of gratification and to feel less alone but instead I have felt deeply ashamed of posting. Thank you for not making me feel worse

I definitely understand, i feel this way too... All those feelings and thoughts that build up inside of me
