In the Shadows

  Hello, hello, hello again! Well, I hope you are feeling better than I am today! I woke up feeling fine, but then a tummy ache hit me with full force, so now I am drinking some peppermint tea. I start a new job today so I hope the tea helps! I should have known better than to eat that onion last night...Lol :) Anyway, this poem talks about depression and the tendency we have to get stuck in...

Impending Doom

 Hello, Hello, Hello! Here we go with another day, and I am feeling grateful- hopefully you are as well! The title of this poem is "Impending doom"; something I am all too familiar with. Hopefully those days are mostly in the past. Since I have a severe anxiety disorder among other concerns, a sense of impending doom arises from most things I have to encounter-  it can be quite...

~Poetry is NOT Dead!~~Poetry is for Everyone!~~Happy Poetry!~ Not Again All of that stress For nothing All of that worry The fear The dread Seeing myself in that hospital bed Trapped once again-I don’t want it Feeling anger Heart-wrenching anger Even though previously That emotion had been So foreign The chest pain The tears that wanted to fall And I stopped them Which brought its own kind of...

Hello, Hello, Hello! Welcome to a brand new day! I hope all is going well during this isolation period and that you are enjoying your family. Today I spent time out in the garden which was nice until I disrupted some ants and realized I was sitting in an ants nest. Of course, all I could do was scream for my Husband, "AHHHHHHHHHH!!!" until came to my rescue! It took me a while to stop doing the...

Realization

    Hello! Hello, hello, hello to you! Another day of poetry. I wonder if you like poetry? Obviously I do, but it's not everyone's cup of tea. Even if you don't like poetry, I appreciate you being here. I have been writing poetry ever since childhood. I decided I had to start writing in code because people were snooping in my diary; I couldn't have that! It was a blessing in disguise...

An Old Journal Entry

      Today I don’t know how I’m feeling. One moment I feel great and all things seem to make sense. The next, I have this inner rage that can’t be satisfied, so I hide it behind smiles and laughter I truly do not feel. I try to be true to myself, but sometimes I don’t know who this person is- breathing inside of me and telling me that everything will work out in the end....

Absent Self

    Absent Self   Thoughts racing out of control You want to know the problem I don’t want to hurt you I don’t want to cry I don’t want you to cry   Sometimes I want to leave Run away from here But what if it is a mistake for me And what if it is too late for me And what if it is you  That I really need   What if I lose you forever How would I feel Do I really...
