Have you ever wanted to go to sleep
And not wake up?
Have you searched the depths
For a hand to hold that wasn’t your own?
How many times have you come up empty?
Surrounded by the crowd
Yet somehow always alone
Seeking the light
but hugging the shadows close
You contradict yourself
Stretching in every direction
How thin can your soul get?
Is that why you’re so fat?
You spread yourself out
A little for everyone
But you forget that you matter too
Tears don’t come easy
You need a trigger
A scapegoat to blame
Craving depravity
You don’t want to think
Take the decisions away
Reduce the choices to none
No thoughts but blackness
No feeling but pain
Allow yourself to be vulnerable
Find yourself on the other side
Refreshed, renewed, reborn
A clean slate, new beginning
To ward the darkness off
If only for a short while

"How thin can your soul get?"
I felt this to my core. What a line.
Brilliant, beautiful and bold. I 've missed your work, I peek in, time to time, still waiting to find my voice again.
I hope you are okay, not feeling that darkness. Like Frodov said, it is good to write about, but find a way out. You are too talented to stay in the darkness, find the sunshine too. Xx
Frodovabout 2 months agoSome call it soul searching. Some call it the depths of despair. I call it the abyss. Only one who has been there themselves can fully recognize that place. I’ve been there, more than once. It’s good that you write about it, but it’s not a place to dwell overly long. It’s not a home or a refuge. Visit but don’t stay. Life, and love, is in the light… not the darkness.
