The terrifying thaw


from the ABC set The deep dark lake

I have a deep dark lake,
I think you all know,
somewhere in the back,
corner, floor of my mind

with things can't forget,
I don't want to remember,
or simply no longer care,

has been frozen solid for
many years now, put away,
safely, in my sub-concious,
but recently, began to thaw,

the last few months, ghosts,
insomnia, panic-attak, fear,
shaking, don't even know why
I feel, so sick, of /myself?

Can I tell you something, now,
this might sound strange, but,
I think i have just remembered
a good few years of my life, &

for all the pain, fear, despair,
it's all over, I shouldn't care,
I have all the old/new knowldge,
I studied so hard to hide there.

I can do all the things I used to
remember everything I then knew how
everything about me improves greatly
tho for some reason I have a creeping
guilt.
huh?

inside you ,deep down, is a block of ice ,a frozen lake, where everything you have hidden and let die, lies.Nam Kyoho Renge. Methinks. .

Kahdai, you remind me so much of someone I knew, you have the same use of english, It makes me want to help you with your lake, perhaps the writing is a help in itself?, the thawing is a neccesity I think.

Aaaw thankyu shoe! I believe that writing this did help & I do need to remember all or nothing, I just wish it would be a gradual thaw, instead of these sudden shocks & at such inconvenient times. Kahdai xx

No need for guilt, my dearest Kahdai! Concerning the lake, thawing is healing; it cannot hide under snow forever. But spring will come. xxx
