Eternal Escape

Source: http://www.healthtap.com

Darkness pulls me in

Again

I’m overwhelmed.

A sharpened knife

Along my skin,

The boldness of my

Blood seeps through

The pain

The hatred

Sliced wide open

Watching life release me.

A slow retreat,

An eternal escape

In desperation

I cling to.

Broken Bond

Mommy I miss you.

A decade ago you

Were taken.

Time passes but

Pain never diminishes,

Searching never stops.

There is no love and warmth

Like yours,

There is no peace,

No safety,

No comfort

Like cuddling in your arms,

Your floral scent.

Warm knitted sweaters,

Happiness,

Acceptance,

Pure and true.

 

There is no justice in this life,

No scales to measure this

Atrocity,

This theft,

This broken bond.

New Paths

I want to organize my mind,
A little spring cleaning
Inside my brain—
Clear out the clutter,
Fix up those neurons,
The pathways and connections
I fall back on
Like a road far too
Well-travelled.

A construction worker’s hat,
Dusty,
Hanging in a dark
Niche of my mind.
New roads—
Unpaved,
Non-existent,
Badly needed.

Treadmill

A treadmill

Crawling forward

Same slow pace

Same rugged path

I travel.

 

Seeking change,

Imploring growth,

Craving—

Every fiber

Yearning—

To transform.

 

Repetition deadens

Me.

Apathy,

Indifference,

Feast on my

Soul.

A Little Ant

Little projects–

A poem

A scrapbook

A trip.

 

Take these minutes try

To mould,

To shape, something

New,

Something different

Worth your

While.

 

A little ant,

Making your

Small hill,

To pass the time.

Patterns

It’s the patterns that terrify me.

The worn-out footsteps,

Deeply ingrained in the

Dirt,

Somehow continually trampled

Upon,

Fitting into my own shoes

Time and time again.
