The Hole With No End

Folder: 
How I feel

I am sober enough

Out of my mind

Darkness and numbness

Fogging what's left behind

Family is breaking

My heart dissipating 

Spiraling out of control

But no one is there 

To fill this dark hole

My bones ache 

And my souls slowly dying

But I'm not even here

Even when it's crying

It calls me back

Every now and again

But the lost stare

I'm stuck in begins 

It pulls me away

And I'm lost in this state

Can someone please help

I'm lost in this state

Drifting further and further 

I can't help but think

Am I even real

Or was all this just a blink

My existence is unknown

To me and my heart

If fiction or reality 

I can't find the start

From where I was 

To where I will go

Every stare brings

Me back to the hole

Of endless pain and agony

How much more

Will my mind take

Before I get lost

Forever in this state

The state of nonexistence 

The hole with no end

My life and my soul

Where did it all begin?

 
Author's Notes/Comments: 

I've been in a rut for a couple of years. This is the sum of how I feel.

No Rut Writing

Your writing is not in a rut though. The "stare" and "hole" motifs and images are very piercing and memorable. Encore - Just bein' - Stella

Thank you

I will most likely write more poems during this struggle to overcome my depression. Hopefully I can get into a lighter setting to show triumph through tribulation. Thank you.
