A Tension Day

Sometimes, when the heart races,
and thoughts wind around
nothing can console the feelings
that stand me on end.

It's a burden developed
over time, difficult to bear.
Running faster than I can catch up to.
Hidden cries, a dawn deceived,
my own noose tightening.

Choking from the lack of humane
the dark becomes darker,
(s)wallowing becomes harder
and the fool in me rises
to the dying feelings of my life,
a mockery.

Too worn to share the load,
too selfish to be there for another,
too much in need, enslaved
by these thoughts that grow the worry
and fill the space with cluttered existence.



"Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less."
(Will Moss)

Exactly how I feel...

you put it perfectly

I know Ron, and there's nothing I can do about it but sit it out and hope my  brain decides to downgrade the worry to a calmer
level...

I even dreamed (thought it was real) something that happened( didn't happen) last evening and had to walk through the house to check and make sure if it was my imagination or not.

Kristie Sue ...I wish this on no one.

hugs

dreams can often leave us unsettled.. they are too real or seem to real to have been just a dream..and to vague to have been real.
when they play on our fears..it makes it even harder at times to shake them...

hope the day gets better for you dear...

Choking from the lack of humane
the dark becomes darker,
(s)wallowing becomes harder
and the fool in me rises

Fear/anxiety/depression can do this to us. We must rise up against the unknown to see how small the demons really are. Be well my friend. hugs, Chris

I love you
With a thousand hearts."
