It’s almost like I can’t breathe This feeling suffocating me A darkness surrounding me Caressing and enveloping me. I can’t see it, but I know This grip won’t let go, Elusive yet steady hold, Willing me to lose control. Just give up, give in Let the darkness win, There’s no rest when This fight doesn’t … Continue reading The Dark

Unclear
Empty, hollow, Like a never ending echo,Reverberating off the walls; Indistinct and unclear.Head pulsating,Rhythmic and methodical beats,Vision dancing at rapid speed Indistinct and unclear. Shake this feeling,I can’t seem to make it through this,My life is quickly becoming Indistinct and unclear.
Eggshells

I don’t feel like I’m walking on eggshells I feel like I’m walking on glassToeing the line, trying to findA sure place, a steady path. I don’t feel like I’m walking on eggshells It’s like glass that’s shattered but thereThe … Continue reading Eggshells

The Madness in Me
Slowly, gently, stroking my faceWiping the hairs from my browTucking them back behind my earHow delicate I feel just now!Leaning in close, the warmth I feelThe breath upon my fleshI close my eyes so I can feel The rhythm inside my chest The slow caress, the gentle touch Tracing the curves of my soulLovingly, tenderly … Continue reading The Madness in Me
Strings
My feet planted firmly on the ground Slip and slide beneath meAs my arms stretched out wideTwisted and pulled violently Eyes dart back and forth Taking stock of everything Hearing voices sounding wordsBut not fully comprehending Rooted in place, still as can beTrying to go unnoticed But here I am on display The puppet center, … Continue reading Strings
