When you think you're getting on top of things again and you fall back off... |

--Symptom-- I push all this **** to the back of my mind as I am awake, But it all comes spilling back out as soon as my eyes are shut. All I can do is sit and let my paranoia take control. My brain is flooded with angst and torment. I take one step forward and a lifetime back. Despit all this you still love me and as a result Ia m so scared for you; My ability to hurt and maim seems at it's strongest flow,. All I seem to do is is kick, bruise and drag you through my deficiencies time and time again. I keep telling myself that this is forever and real, And whilst I believe, I do not understand what it is I offer you. I feel that I am a symptom of other peoples hate and indecision, I feel almost sure that I'm not imagining their mere tolerance of me- But I can never be sure of what I feel because before you came into my life, I barely even existed let alone lived. I long for the ability of reasoning, to work out where I went wrong, I long for the words to tell you how much I love you, I long for an end to this struggle and hate and torture, Why can't I shake this feeling? This creeping, dreaded feeling. I thought it was long gone, Left in the past, Buried, along with my regret and my longing for something to change. But all of a sudden it's back again. Maybe it was never really gone in the first place, Maybe I'd pushed it all to the back of my mind, But my dreams have become a reality, And it's all come spilling out again. |

When we push what frightens us to the back of our minds it comes to haunt us when we are at our weekest. I have felt this so many times but continue to fear re-opening the pain for fear that it will consume me once again. Your poem sang a song of the soul that those who know sing alone. I loved your poem and embrace you as one that I know well within the depths of pain. |
