Drowning
I am drowning in a sea
sea of pain and misery
Misery from physical pain
pain which can make insane
Insane how it saps energy
energy depleted—synergy
Synergy causes pain that’s there
there are times almost can’t bear
Bear I must for I am drowning in a sea
sea of pain and misery
***********************************
Faces
I have many faces
Excited and can't wait to explore
Content to just sit and be
Fearful the darkness will return
Depressed, the darkness transcends
Numb, unable to feel anything.
That is the worst
Unable to feel joy, pain
Darkness, light
Contentment
Nothing matters
Especially me.
Lost in the darkness
Wandering, wondering
Hoping, wishing
Waiting for the sun to
Break through
The clouds.
A crack,
A small sliver of light
Breaks through the darkness
Offering hope
Warmth, strength
A chance to matter again.
