i posted this originally in the Open Poetry forum....but thought i'd put it in here too because it's about a very emotional, depressing time in my life...it was originally a song in my head, but has for some reason remained a poem...please tell me what you think...


slowly before you,
my pain in my hands
reaching out for comfort,
hear me crying as I land

i try to breathe
the air sticks in my lungs
collapsing inside me,
the way it always does

unravel
unravel
turn away as i unravel

the pieces fall apart
and i lose them one by one
these nights are my undoing,
far from reason, far from sun

through grief, one shines
so watch me as i glow
a room of staring silence...
with no where else to go

unravel
unravel
close your eyes as i unravel

the crumbling tiny pieces
of who i used to be
see them drown in expectations
for the person who was me

i once was strong
i once was wise
but those who love me
close their eyes

unravel
unravel
pull the thread as i unravel

the refrain effect works, especially with the twist at the end.
depression seems more like implosion to me, but unravelling works to

I agree with Ginners, definately a great song here, this is a very good write, strongly written, powerfully stated. Emotional, moving, great piece all around. Take care.

With the word, I am mighty, with the pen I am free..
