Just Sometimes

by CJ Maleney   May 2, 2017


Sometimes I sit and think a bit,
Some would say it is too much.
Kaleidoscope thoughts merging.
With reality I lose touch.

But no pretty colours blending,
It's darkness and it's black.
That dream when I am hanging on for life,
Where I can't pull myself back.

I shake my head and slap myself,
To try to bring myself around.
But at this point it's far too late
The darkness again I've found.

It wraps it's self around me,
And it fits me like a glove.
But there's no warmth or comfort pending,
I can't even feel the touch of love.

It's that time when everything is bleak,
There's no lighthouse up ahead.
No lifeline left to cling to.
When all inside feels dead.

I sometimes wonder if I can go on,
Sometimes think I've had enough.
I feel torn and twisted up inside,
Though my exterior still seems tough.

I could never take my own life,
I just do not have the balls!
But sometimes I wish the earth would split
And to dark oblivion I fall.

    Sometimes we get that feeling and fall into that trap
    where there is no escape and one just wishes to be swallowed
    into a pitch dark hole and be left there...a limbo feeling and
    a write...take care

    I really enjoyed reading this, dark, honest & raw

    These 2 lines capture exactly how I am feeling- "I feel torn and twisted up inside,
    Though my exterior still seems tough"
