PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Thoughts slosh back and forth
                  back and forth
                             back and forth
                  back and forth

Then everything recedes
There's a vacuum of feeling
There's silence and
Discomfort

Then thoughts rush back in
Like a tidal wave
                            that
                                  overtakes
                                          everything

Flooding every corner of my mind
                                             with reasons
                                    to give up
                            to believe
                      the lies
            I tell myself
      at night

It's hard
To feel good
To feel solid or stable
To see a way forward

                                      I want to end this
                                      With something about
                                      Hope but things
                                      Like this don't end
                                      As suddenly as
                                      They come on

Still I have to try
                    so that's what I'll do
                                    I'll promise myself
                                                     to keep trying
