Sometimes I feel so alive and
Sometimes I feel so dead
Sometimes I could cry
The thoughts from my head
Sometimes, I

Personality changing, shifting,
Disengaging
New voices to spark
The old fires
The same mind aging

Pale blue light, lost my sight
Until dawn’s sunlight
Rage taking control of me
Exposing me
Destroying me

Until then, I couldn’t recognize
My own eyes
Or how I do despise
Sometimes I can be so cold and
Sometimes I run so hot
Sometimes I’m told,
A treasure I am not

This story is getting old
Lifetime spent lost, losing
Paying the cost
Only my will to find a way
Out of the flames and
Out of the frost
Hating me, loving me
Just being me

Waking up watered down
Feeling lost within a frown
Then up, then down
Can’t get off the floor
Can’t get out the door
Can’t take this no more
Sometimes I smile and
Sometimes I hide
Sometimes after awhile
Tired after the ride,
Don’t know; who am I?

Dr. Joseph Murphy would say "you are a child of eternity" and I add "you are doing just fine, dear Poet!".

I think we can all relate to a certain extent to your significant write, dear J.. Go on wondering and questioning, you do it so well.

Love,
Margherita

Heartfelt, raw stream-of-consciousness piece- if this is confessional poetry then I do wish you clarity and peace, CG.
Best~

Sometimes I’m told,
A treasure I am not

Then someone's telling you wrong. *S* For a treasure you are... as a person and as a poet. *S*

Sometimes our skin can't seem to hold us in... You've written that brilliantly!
