In The Rough
Here I am zoning out again
Knowing what I don’t want to feel
It’s hard to push myself away
Hard to even tell what all is real
I take a deep breath, in and out
Just drop the tone and listen, baby
Not trying to fuss and fight tonight
I’m not trying to come off crazy
I can’t say anything anymore
Without you lashing out
I try to start off really calm
Seconds later you start to shout
So I start to release my grip
I stare into the void of our walls
I barely blink, breathing shallow
The world around me seems to stall
I’m not sure when I come back to
Back to the same ole disassociation
Not sure when I started this mess
But I know that it’s all my creation
I don’t want to feel
I don’t want to see
I can’t stand the noise
What it makes of me
I’m lost in my internal affairs
Don’t want to rock the boat
How long can I keep this up
Can’t even keep myself afloat
Don’t know what I’m doing here
As I stare at my spot on the wall
Eyes are crossed, vision unfocused
Not sure I have fight left in me at all

Ah thank you, been feeling super... writer's blocked lately and all of this certainly doesn't help. Thank you for the read and the comment.

I think that logic is that f***king still voice that blasts itself and suggests a myriad of signs, but as time goes on that voice just subsides. It will always beckon again and again. It tries to point the way, to steer us away from dangers ahead.
Been many a time, I did not listen and at 70 have finally kind of sort of learned to listen. To listen is the key, but to hear is the door.

Yes at her young age has great insight. I have no doubt LivDiane will live a life full of joy and pain. It's all about how we react, what we do with it.
