Today has
been like
scratching
a brick wall
I didn’t
see this
one coming
at all
Everything
I’ve done
has made me
feel worse
I cannot
shrug this
nightmarish
curse
It feels
ridiculously
melodramatic
to say
But I
really don’t
think there’s
another way
All that
appeals
to me now
is that rope
As finally
it seems I’ve
abandoned
all hope

Thank you, you’re very kind. I’ll be OK. Just having a couple of down days I think. I’m well used to them. Being able to write down how I’m feeling, as I don’t always talk about it in real life, certainly helps. 🖤

I understand completely. I have an old rope swing out back I use when Im feeling down ❤️
Seriously though, hope (sending hope to you) you are okay.

And the voyage from black to grey starts with a smile at your witty response, so thank you for that! 👍 You’re very kind to think of me. I’ll be OK I think. Just having a couple of down days but they are nothing new. Being able to write down how I’m feeling, as I don’t always talk about it in real life, certainly helps. 🖤

This is a really vivid post here. The poem’s good 💙💙. I just hope you’re alright. Rope should never be an option, okay?

Aw Sid, you’re very kind to worry about me. I’m doing OK. Writing out my thoughts helps me not to act on them – even if what I post is then a tad shocking! 🖤

Reading through these comments and I agree, we have a very similar way of writing! My family hate the way I write, but it helps so much.

Thanks. It takes a lot of effort to stay some days…
That’s the joy of being anonymous, I guess. There are less than a handful of people who read my work ‘in real life’ so I’m free to fully express my thoughts / feelings here.
I’m so glad because, as you say, writing helps so much! 🖤

I know… I can tell, and I’m not just saying this – that you’re one of the strong people. I truly felt every word of this poem.
Anonymity is very freeing 🙂

And I should say, Bluebell, thank you so much for all of your likes and comments today.
You taking the time to read my ramblings means a lot – let alone you giving such (undue) praise also.
I shall take inspiration from your kindness and from your own wonderful works too!

Such relatable words. Reading some above comments I’m glad you are OK. Thank goodness creative do have an outlet for their big emotions or there would be a lot more action I fear. Glad to have found your beautiful words. Stay strong as this too shall pass.
