Temptation

by Liss   Jun 19, 2015


Why do I still feel this way?
There's a devil inside my brain,
and he won't go away.
Am I just fooling myself?
Can love be the answer to all my pain?
He's telling me I don't deserve it,
that people who say they love me, won't be there in the end,
That I'll just be deserted.
"Come close, my child.
Lets go back to the cloudy place, where you can be free, yourself, and forever dazed.
Take my hand and escape the heartbreak."
The temptation is creeping,
I'm fighting a war in my head.
Please, stop thinking!

    Hello Liss,

    this is a insightful piece of writing. The 'temptation' to run away and hide from life's 'heartbreaks' is preferable at times. What does this mean? It means 'escaping' the pain as it feel too much to bear. The reality is this - Pain is normal and with it the depression, fear and anxiety. The sollution is: Time. Time to self reflect and make a plan. Plan to learn from each and every mistake whether yours or another person's. Speak to supportive and trusted friends and family and keep writing.Life is too short for regrets and the future is brighter than you think.

    Take care,

    Michael
