Excellent This is when I refused to go back to the Spider's Web. INBETWEEN THE LINES : Step into the Dark with me. by Stef Lau Poem of the Month contest entry

If you only new the darkness within this world, You would not be so ignorantly happy. I assume that Mother Earth knows your soul's very young, infantile & not capable of handling the truth of Reality. Sometimes, I can't handle dealing with souls like yours... It just requires so much of my energy to explain everything i n  e v e r y  d e t a i l . . . I don't know if it's just you that causes me to do that but i do know there are many humans like you. I am glad that my knight(Mason) opened my mind, eyes & heart to what I've been trapped in for 8 years...   it was a cage.   Bars Built out of words: Manipulation of emotions Demeaning, Damaging critiques on normal everyday tasks. I had to hide my feelings. . .  Because it was never about me. My feelings . . . suffering were not equally validated Between us.   It's an invisible, seemingly unbreakable restraint.   People do not understand most of the restraints and suppressions I have been tethered with since I was able to draw. I  c a n  n o t  a l w a y s  u n d e r s t a n d how I've gotten here. How could I let someone poison my mind like this? Author Notes This was the realization of my current mental condition and how it became this way; more specifically how I was REacting out of defense for the fear of whatever anchor teetering on the edge of the ledge was going to drop & drag my life down to the depths again. It was a repeated process I was accustomed to & I was unaware and ignorantly blind to happiness along with true unconditional love that was not from my weighted double bladed sword relatives- excluding my maternal grandmother.
