When it hurts to feel

Sometimes everything feels like it’s too much,, like life is coming at you from all angles and there isn’t a place far enough to escape. Overwhelm consumes your mind and body, as you move through each day attempting to be perceived as having it all together and succeeding in every way. You put on the masks required of you and conceal yourself to the outside world, existing in a shell of yourself. Before you know it you feel like you’ll burst at the seems, from any emotion that dares to come up, like absolutely nothing could contain you because you’ve exceeded capacity. You get to the point that you need someone to split your seams before they burst, to dig into your psyche and rip off your masks. * * * * * * * * I want nothing more than to dig into the heart of you, and pull the tender bits of who you are to the surface. You cannot hide here, and while all you want is to be kneeling and exposed, some part of you fights it. You can’t help it, you’ve been trained to hide and run from your most tender feelings, your truth begging to be exposed can no longer be hidden. Once I have seen the truth of you, there is no escape and you willing surrender to your desire as I expose it, unwrapping your layers, stripping you bare of all you hide behind. In this place there is no need to fight, no need to think, no need to do anything but submit to me. I will show you who you are, reflected back at you from the deep green of my piercing eyes and you will know you are mine. The world outside has vanished, if only for a moment in time.
