Sometimes I feel
Like I don’t belong
As if everything I do
Will go completely wrong
The words coming
Out of my mouth
Are either a scream
Or I will shout
Sometimes the words
Aren’t coming at all
And I feel like
I can only fall
Falling and falling
As I try to get away
From this crazy world
Where I don’t want to stay
Feelings are piling
Up in my head
I don’t want to remember
I want to forget
But the chaos won’t leave
The thoughts won’t go
I can barely
Stay in control
I want to run
I want to fight
But I can’t hide
From the dark at night
When the thoughts return
And so will the cries
For help and love
While tears fill my eyes
I keep slipping
Dragged down in the dark
I can’t get away
From the pain in my heart
(April 2015)
This was really powerful and I could feel the heartbreaking emotions but I hope this isn’t reality, Iris…hugs

Part of it is reality, but not all… And I’m feeling much better since then. Writing has always been a kind of therapy for me. Getting it all out on paper works so well for me…
Thank you for your kind comment, dear Lauren! Sending hugs back ♥

I’m glad you’re feeling better and writing does the same for me. Although I haven’t written in awhile; needing some new inspiration. :) Take care, my friend…♥

Tea, cookies and a hug?
The poem had a wonderful flow and powerful imagery to it, although I hope this isn’t a feeling the dominates most of your time.

Good on the feeling better, blech on the bad patches. Feeling bad is never fun.

I read your poem aloud and flows really well – almost violently. Okay, perhaps that’s not the right word choice, but this is another powerful poem.

Wonderful – song compliments well too – not heard of the singer, but a great voice! Cheers J
