Misunderstanding.

Contributed by cashfan1 on Wednesday, 11th August 2010 @ 12:53:00 PM in AEST
Topic: selfstruggles



Thrashing in a convulsion of unhappiness,
Soul dark and heavy as winter clay.
A soft and cloying lonliness lingers on the landscape
Of my dark and troubled mind.
Slowly, deliberately, I come upon a moment
Where certainty is a betrayal of my trust.
And then I come to a clearing,
Illuminated by a moon struck sky
I go down on bended knee and plead for the light
To enter the deep black opening of my head.
To snatch me away from the edge of nowhere.
And allow me to understand your misunderstanding.

"where certainty is a betrayal of my trust".. Very deep, beautiful expression.. Good one...
And i think there exists a very thin line between pain and depression... And each one tries to keep us in their teritory when we tread on it.. So they might be different.. Or atleast that is how i try to demarcate them..

This is very descriptive of the darkness you must find yourself (and myself) in. You painted a picture with your words. Great write.

It's remarkable that I should come across this poem at this particular time in my life. I'm going through exactly the same problem (only without a woman to guide me through it, unfortunately). I've been sad for about 10 years, and I've admitted to myself that I have 'depression' and I have to go and see my doctor about it. But I still don't know if maybe this is my personality, whether i'm only feeling sad, or whether it really is serious depression.

I could fully empathize with this line in particular: 'A soft and cloying lonliness lingers on the landscape /Of my dark and troubled mind.' That's exactly what it feels like.

You have expressed your feelings in a really deep and meaninful way. Its really interested and well written. if you're down try not to bottle things up. keep writing and expressing your emotions. x
