what's the harm in a little lie
if it keeps you safe at night?
if, in your mind-rested bed
you can think better of yourself
and not sigh over deeds unpromised?

oh, anything-of-nothing that i will never know
oh, me-in-you that i can see but not articulate
oh wrath and courage

to look inside from out
and see such grinding misery
to do nothing and feel content in that
to hate oneself for it

if i fall, i would not get up
i would be happy to not
and lay bleeding on the floor
with a concussion so bad that i am hallucinating
but i enjoy it
because it is more peaceful than an awakening
it is better than me
and i am better than i allow myself to be
at times like these

RocketRide,
Hopefully times have improved. This darkness seems deep. Courage and welcome to Passions.

Sadness for you overwhelms me as I read this poem. I can only hope that a new day will dawn for you bringing with it light and hope. My heart goes out to you. Welcome to passions. You will find those here have hearts filled with love and compassion.

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

thank you all for your comments. they are much appreciated. this was not so much a reaction to a time in my life as a reflection on it, so not to worry ; )
peace,
