On Being

I thought I could do it,
being once so outgoing.
But it gets harder every day,
to wake up and make a move
towards happiness.

It is like self-imprisonment,
a punishment for failing,
that lost puzzle piece never found,
a pill that won't dissolve,
and sticks in my throat.

Consoling words are no longer
a remedy, when you live a life diseased.

The cure can't be found.
There is no elixir that can rectify my life.
The fear is there.
It is real and disquieting.
I hear the panic in my ears, my voice
lost to words of dread.

I cringe at the face in the mirror,
wondering how much it has changed
and how little I recognize.

I can do for others, but shrink
when it comes to myself.
I put on that mask, sometimes too thick,
compress my thoughts until they are flattened
to a level I can step over,
and assure them
that there is always tomorrow,
while inside I feel selfish,
wanting it today.

Some days I am in the dark and others should be standing in a corner...so I am going to spread myself around a bit.

Thanks and don't worry, my mood changes easily.

hugssss
