"Until 1 day"

"Until 1 day"

by:

Virgilio F. De leon Jr.MD

One day he said 

I will bury it deep

This thing that I hate so much

This that I will keep

And everyday it reaches out

from within him to be released

and he ignores it's cries

and he answers with silence when it begins to scream

Each day is another day denied

To this thing that wells inside him

Yet he weakens from the anger

And so becomes blind to it's danger

Until One day

The day of all days when he finally remembers

that what he hates most wants to be free

it is neither danger or fear but just to be.

Letting his guard down

embracing it finally

It stabs his heart.

And as he falls he only hears its maddening laughter echo.
