Broken
it's these moments
that I find the hardest
when the sun
decends into the universe
and the moon
reveals her face
the darkness
casts its shadows
upon my scars
upon my brokenness
these feelings
I swallow down
like nails
they cut
the depths of me
why do I surrender
to the thoughts
and let them
completely take over
EVERYTHING
is suffocating me
my walls
are closing in
I can't see
I can't feel
I can't breathe
that I find the hardest
when the sun
decends into the universe
and the moon
reveals her face
the darkness
casts its shadows
upon my scars
upon my brokenness
these feelings
I swallow down
like nails
they cut
the depths of me
why do I surrender
to the thoughts
and let them
completely take over
EVERYTHING
is suffocating me
my walls
are closing in
I can't see
I can't feel
I can't breathe

This pretty much describes how I feel right now. Strange how we must suffer and love is so difficult to find.

Dear J,
So relatable. You’ve done a remarkable job in describing the airless feeling of hurt and sadness. “ these feelings
I swallow down
like nails” I like this metaphor. Some days it’s exactly like nails that cut. Great piece. H🌷

No good answers except, stop and breath. When everything is happening at once be still and breath, deep, slow cleansing breathes and focus. Change doesn't happen in stasis but you need to know where YOU are before you can decide how to get where you're going.

A last word of advice, if you're going to hang around me make sure you've got money for bail! 😁😂😂😂

Beauty in the broken....poetry at its best.
The most creative writing evolves from our lowest ebb.
And breathe....we collectively relate to this i imagine.
