Internalize

I invite you,

Come, take a walk with me.

Quiet chaos awaits.

Don’t worry, I won’t let you drown.

Take my hand,

It’ll calm the seas of torment.

Talk to me, my friend.

You’ll distract from the crowds of voices in my ears.

Tell me of your thoughts,

For I might escape the ties that bind me, if only for a moment.

I invite you,

Please…

Come take a walk with me.

This poem was my attempt at visualizing what it’s like to internalize your stresses, your pains, your emotions. I have always shielded my internal chaos from those around me, and having others around (human or animal) has helped me get through challenges, whether they knew it or not. This is what inspired my writing.
