Me, On The Inside...




Casting shadows
only to find
I am the shadow

A mass of darkness
plagued upon me
like a damned curse

To what do I owe
the unwanted pleasure
of the company of pain

My heart is cold and grotesque
like the inside of a morgue
Embalm my soul to preserve it

Does life find a fascination
in placing me in a disturbed corner
little does it know I embrace solitude

Never shall I shed this sickness
it shrouds me, like a mausoleum

never seeing the light of day

 

I only have one burning question

How long must I endure the suffering?

I can not bear much more of the insanity

 

 

 

 

 

In a list

Please tell me what you think

    I can not bear much more of the insanity

    Sure you can. Why wouldn't you? It's what we Live for,

    isn't it? Isn't it everythiing you pictured life would be, when we were little and waiting for ourselves to grow up, so life would be better? Didn't you conjure in your mind, the desolation life throws you at times?

    Ah, come on jer, you know you did. . .at least once?

    Naw, me neither, but it helps to be as icily bitter as I can sometimes, keeps things at a perspective so I can focus.

    The truth is that things DONT GET BETTER, ONLY YOU, and only after allowing yourself to be loved enough to love the hurt away.

    Makes perfect sense to me. I know where you are in this, Im standing right outside, and I'm offering you a new way to the door. Now, get up. Dust yourself off, and come with me. You deserve the other side of this hell, sweets. You deserve the sunshine, and not the cold darkness of this awfulness.

    I'm always right here, and always for you,

    You know that, right?

    I loved the imagery and metaphor

    I've definitely been in this situation before, but I gvess to answer your question from experience. It's all a matter of how you handle it. My life started crumbling at the very foundation a couple of weeks ago, I started to lose hope but quickly gained it back, took action and tkok charge and this week things are looking up.
    Yes, it remains true1 that there are some instances that cannot be avoided or prevented, but I guess it's a matter of how you ccept it. Yes, yes, easier said than done, but if you don't crawl from the debris, how do you expect to rebuild the destroyed building. If you disagree, please speak up.
