Locked

Advertisements

up in a space where all my happiness is locked behind another door and all the creativity is locked behind another door.

This space I am is nothing but dark and the answers to when will everything great come back is just echoing around me but there is no hope I’ll get the answer soon.

My words are gone and maybe they will be forgotten too because I can’t seem to get out of this place.

I want to fight to get to the place that the sun will shine down on me and I will be at peace but, sometimes all the good has to go way and I have to sit in the dark to realize all that I stand for.

Because, I am something worth fighting for and even though things are not looking up that is not a reason to give up.

The step that I am on now is rest and to stop over giving what you do not have left to give.

I am on empty and there is not much more I can offer out to those who have taken it all because no one else is as willing or able to give so much.

I am not moving forward at the moment for I am resting and I am centering myself back to who I was before and maybe I will have become so much more when this process is done and over.

Drained

no energy left but I need to talk to you

even though my body is aching and there is no instant reaction.

For me to just go to sleep and just talk to you later.

Yet, I stay up and talk to you and as minutes turn into hours.

I get lost in you again and soon I’ve fallen sleep and the talk decreases to nothing.

As my breathing slows down and I go into a long sleep.

waking up knowing our conversation was cut short.

I wait awhile to talk to you but when I let you in I trust you with my secrets and my tale of my day.

So drained so many things are missed out on that I hope soon I can make time to make things right again.

But, maybe this time my energy won’t come back and I will be forever drained.

I didn’t

see it coming as I finally fell

I was so weak that I felt like I couldn’t get back up.

I didn’t know what was happening but I felt everything

drain from me.

The words I couldn’t speak, the things I couldn’t see.

The time went by and yet I couldn’t see how long it had been and in the end I lost more than I could chew.

My body, mind, soul didn’t seem the same and no matter how much time had gone by nothing seemed the same.

Anger

It’s all you got

and even when they tell you to let it go

you just continue to let it grow.

You don’t care about the outcome

You just scream from the top of your lungs

as your heart starts to beat faster and the words just keep pouring out.

When will you stop?

When your all alone and there is no one to hear the words

or will you continue to yell in an empty house.

Eventually, you will go mad and yell all the time walking around and just one wrong

look will get you going and nothing will stop you.

Until one day it will be too much for your heart and it will slowly

start to beat slowly and then it will be over.

And I wonder what will be your last thoughts as the world around you

finally goes dark.

Will you have wished you had got that forgiveness or will you just not even care?

If only you had listened to me when I let anger go for it doesn’t help me grow it only holds one back.

Will you let anger go and live a life with purpose and so much growth or will you end up like the person above with no hope or light at the end of their road.
