Stuck

By openureyes


Drag me down
speak softly

Chip away at me
gnawing into you


Inside this bubble I hear the words I wish to hear
sing the songs i choose to sing
I open my eyes and you appear
In this bubble I can make you turn to dust
wish you out of my existence

There is nothing refreshing about these tears rolling down my cheeks
Nothing healthy about this emotional hangover
certainly no need for this agony i create

This merry go round  depletes me over and over  year after year

Toss me off...let me wake up.

A little sense...wheres the relief?

    "Inside this bubble I hear the words I wish to hear", I love that whole section where you explore that side of turning inward. Excellent piece! Ciao, T/S Scholar

    "Nothing healthy about this emotional hangover" That sounds like about the worst feeling a person could possibly have. This hurt to read, such frustration. Nicely written.
