Temptations Poem by shane nolan

I find temptations hard to battle
I find them hard to resist,
a feeling of vulnerability
as though my hands are tied behind my back.

the feeling washes over me
like the waves washing ashore.
The feelings of desire
not wanting to feel ignored

I see it day to day in my mind,
I see it through my own eyes
hoping it won't be seen or pry on.
Or am i only bidding on my own pride.

It makes me think of crazy ideas,
it makes me feel alive,
but to my mind it totally
burns inside
