Secluded

Slowly 
I walk 
Along 
The bridge 
Resisting 
The urge 
To jump

But 
I feel
The ringing 
In my ears 
And my heart 
Begin 
To thump 

Now
I have felt
This way 
Before 
And 
I recognise 
The slump

So I go
In search  
Somewhere 
Else
For these 
Feelings 
To dump

  2. I’m so sorry you are going through such a tough time.

    Strange thing about this poem…Is I too, once long ago…felt this way. I mean, at times life can get heavy and difficult. Sometimes I have thoughts myself. It’s a struggle. I’ve been in therapy for a 1 year and 6 months. My thoughts we’re scary and ideation to say. That’s one of the reasons I took a long break from WordPress to focus on my mental health. Again, things aren’t easy and it’s hard, but you write this powerful poem. I can say myself, that I am not alone, and you are not alone either. Send you a million blessings and hugs my friend. 🙂

    1. Thank you my friend, that means a lot.

      This one was written at a time where my intrusive thoughts were running riot and, I’m glad to say, things are a little calmer now. In a somewhat perverse way it’s nice to know we’re not alone when these thoughts strike.

      I’m glad you’re taking time out to look after yourself and I hope therapy is working well for you. Keep going. You’re worth it 🖤🖤

      1. You welcome.

        Know this…I am here for you if you need a friend and I’ll be there to just listen. I’ve learned throughout my years on this planet and the only thing I’m good at, is listening. I can’t say much to help but me listening and saying (Sorry) is a support I can only give.

        And yes, your work has encouraged me to be a bit more open not with my work but with certain people I can trust. You are such a kind and phenomenal poet that speaks from the truest of heart. Thank you for you always being you. 🙂
