Losing myself

by Liss   Jun 19, 2015


No, don't be worried.
I'm the strong one.
I'm supposed to be able to resist the temptation without looking weak,
With a hand from no one.
I'm tip toeing around this addiction.
Trying to convince myself it's just a drug, and I'm not feeling the restrictions.
What does this say about myself?
That life's not important, my kids, my family, and not even my health?
With every minute my knees buckle,
I'm not me anymore, and all you can do is chuckle.
I'm begging for answers, can i just get a clue, a hint,
A reason why my life is involved in..
These certain problems.
I'm asking for solutions,
I'm not getting the diagnosis.
All I have is the desire to solve them.

    I read you poem and it touch me.
    I like the way how you write down, the emotion and the story about yourself..for conveying that you are strong even there are challenges that you facing.

    I like the last part.

    A reason why my life is involved in..
    These certain problems.
    I'm asking for solutions, 
    I'm not getting the diagnosis.
    All I have is the desire to solve them.

    -a self query, questioning yourself.
    Its like wondering why life is so complicated? Why you are the one having that certain problems.
    Am I right? It is only my own perception about your piece. I almost relate to this because sometimes I also encountered this kind of situation. But, everything has purpose and reason why things happened..and every problem has solution. Be strong.

    Great written piece.
    Keep it up.

      Thank you so much for your kind words. I love it!!
      I appreciate the motivation😊

      This piece reflects a difficult and confusing situation I've faced, being forced to go through it alone. And expected to be strong enough because I'm usually the strong one. Feeling so weak had me questioning myself completely.ðŸ"ðŸŽ­
