Myself My mind never quiets, Peace is a luxury I do not know. Alone with my thoughts!? God I just want to get away from them! But never does a moment go by, When my most desperate wish is granted. A wound that never closes, Never heals- Always it hurts, And I cannot stand the pain! Blood trickles forth from my mind, My spirit, The very fabric of my being- And I am powerless to stop it. Laying awake each night, Unable to calm my thoughts, My desires, So tired am I- But emotion overwhelms me, And my thoughts will never leave me be. I often fall asleep of pure exaustion. I'm afraid - Scared of myself... I can't get away! Help me! NO! Don't leave me alone! Please God! Talk to me!! I'm scared, It Hurts... I feel sick, I need to get away... Nobody understands, Nobody can understand... I go on- Day in and Day out. Brave the sunshine, Brave the night- How will I ever make it? I do not know... I just... need to get away- Get away from me! Myself, Get away! Please... Go away... |

I find that a lot of people experience these feelings this time of year. I could feel the tension within your words and know that you are reaching out by writing them...and that's so important...communication....my email is open to you anytime...I may not be much help but I'm a good reader listener....take care of yourself...ethome The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |

I understand this. I DO. Believe me, I do. Kathleen Blake "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey." Laurie Lee |

I like your poem, it shows a very human emotion. We have a tendency to let our thoughts take over our life. Talk to me!! Calling on God to help is great, but we need to be listening. Sometimes his answers are not what we ask for, but what we need. |
