Bleed into that spot

The sunlight
beams in
and forms
a window
on the wall.
Its not that
big.
But it 
sits there 
reminding
me of 
that habit
I had,
when I felt 
I could not
speak up.
I would
push my thoughts
and feelings
down.
Because at 
some point
I knew that if 
I said something
you would not
agree.
you would get 
upset.
You would 
call me selfish.
So I would find a 
spot on the wall
where the sun 
would come
in and I would
stare at it.
I would stare at
it until I became part
of that wall.
blending into
the wall
like I did not matter.
My bones
and flesh
would bleed into
the wall.
I have not felt
that way
in awhile.
Today for 
just a moment
I saw that sun 
spot on the wall
and I pushed
my feelings
deep down
inside.
I felt like
I was bleeding
into  the wall.
I did not like
it. 
But I know
what
I feel..
the thoughts
in my head.
you would never
understand.
So I let myself
bleed into
that spot.
I had no
choice.
