fuck or flight
the emptiness of a feeling
is dread gone cold
when you can hurt no more
you fold in on yourself
look into the soul and see the truth
you're dead inside
just give up the ghost
why fight it?
this feeling of nothing
get acquainted with it
it's the new you...the empty
dead to emotion
the fight is on
its fuck or flight
you ran as fast as you could
to avoid reality
now it's staring at you from within the void
taunting you...
it pushes you to the edge
fuck or flight
fuck or flight
fuck or flight
what will you do when pressed tight against the wall?
will you confront the truth or deny it all?

I like your words, but the sentiment is kinda...wrong....scary...I believe in fucking, well, but taking pussy from non-consenting others..oh no, oh hell. Just me.

thank you dearest poet for your interpretation but this is not about sex at all fuck here is being used as a metaphor for confronting a feeling...
love Brenda ❤

To engage or not engage...to be or not to be...to own it or flee from it....life choices.

I've thought about this................often
I think it's why i am afraid to let go of my pain and why i cling to physical pain
because if i let go........will i continue to feel?
Excellent relatable spill, strong Gentle Sister
(welcome back - I've missed Your spirit)

To hide from truth makes more problems. Unfortunately I know. Will always come a time where you have to say fuck it. Whatever may come may come.

Better this than "fight or flight." I particularly love those last two lines.

I've been following you for quite some time now. It seems as if something is wrong & you're trying to put it in your ink. I must say that I'm a pretty sad person myself. So, I could really feel the emotion in your recent writings. But, sadness is like a drug. When you get familiar with it, you want more. Fight it.

Its so easy to keep running but it solves nothing and when your back is against the wall its time to say Fuck it face up to it because in the end no matter what happens, at least go down fighting as you have no idea just how much strength you find when you need it the most.
This is one thing I do know I was here not that long ago, i read this and feel like its me...…...
