*Forbidden to sleep*
My soul it doe's not sleep,
My mind: all the thoughts it keeps,
Tormenting me, driving me insane,
Im so tired of being here,
Imprisioned by all my lonley fears,
Im kept wide awake, forbidden to rest,
These emotions they thrive on my soul,
They feast deep within and falling from my cheeks,
comes the painful tears,
they fall because im weak,
To weak to care,
To weak to even stop and stare,
Somebody please pull me from these deep waters,
light a candle, let it flare,
Help me please show you care,
let me sleep, let me rest,
This challenge i dare you,
My soul is calling,
Scream at me;hurt me,
I call to you, reach for me,
Before it's to late
The thought that i would hate
of falling and reaching my fate.
The Soul Is not Tortured at all...... that is a misconception
Likely your soul remains untouched by your mad egoic mind, not to worry I am not specifically pointing your mind out as mad and egoic all our minds are that way. My best advice to you is go to your local library and check out a book titled 'A New Earth' by Eckhart Tolle. iI will help you a lot to realize you are way more than just your mind's thoughts. Your soul is the quiet watcher of the thinker. That will help put a lot of things in better perspective for you. It sure helped me. One should never be a slave to one's own mind's thoughts especially when the negative ones keep one up thinking about and droning on perceived little injustices that one's mind overly perceives and dwells on. It doesn't always bode well. I read your poetry and enjoyed reading it. Would love to see you observe and write about something lovely in your life. Too many focus on their pain. Shake things up and write a little more about something that made you smile or stop to linger upon it a while longer. So often we witness something of great beauty in our day, even if it's some small thing, we dismiss it and focus on the scheme of our own so felt lousy little day and think nothing of that wonderful thing of beauty that God took the time to put before us to help cheer us up, like maybe a lovely sunrise a gorgeous unexpected cloud formation in the sky, maybe the sight of some children playing so boisterously that it makes you recall your own care free childhood as you pass them by. Too many things to name. All of those little instances though are love letters from God or think when you find change on the side walk, I always stop and pick it up even if it's just a penny cause I think wow free Money thanks God and I pocket it. As my grandma would say, Every little bit helps! Anyway, thank you for sharing I hope you share some more, Sincerely, Melissa Lundeen.
