Leaving Normal

Sometimes I feel it's all okay
Sometimes I actually feel I can breathe
Sometimes I feel like I've gotten over all of this so quickly
- too quickly
But when the next morning greets me
I find myself drowning in a scalding sea
of my own tears.
Sometimes I can actually make myself believe
that I can sprout wings and leave all
this behind, that everything is alright
- that fleeting, unseen parasite called hope.
Sometimes I look at what I've written
for the dead
And I laugh and I burn and I let loose these tears
But I'm so tired of feeling this way
I've written it down in letters
To send to where you are
I crumple them up and throw them away
I start all over again
It's a rerun, it's a dungeon and
this prisoner wants out.
Sometimes I feel like I'll never be
able to live without the one who is gone
Waking up in the morning never seemed
so pointless before
Taking a shower feels so imbecilic
Brushing my hair seems selfish.
But then sometimes I feel this sense of freedom that's unwelcome
It's pleasure but it's wrong
And I exhale for relief and for guilt
and for shame.
Sometimes I'm so angry at the world
and those smirking idiots who still
have the indecency to be alive
Sometimes I imagine myself pulling off
another Columbine
Each and every petty fantasy withers and cracks to die.
Sometimes I'm just too tired
to move, to think, to breathe
I stare at the ceiling and this
quiet resignation and sadness in me...
Somehow
it's worse than the anger and the grief
and the guilt and the anarchy and the
despair and the pining and the denial...
Oh God, it's much worse.
And I hold my head in my hands
I'm stroking the anchor
I go down, I go down
And I see no more.

| This was a sad beautiful poem. To open your heart up and say thee most personal things in there take guts, and to post it for all to see shows greatness. You are one of the most talented writers I have ever had the pleasure of reading. I enjoy your poems very much. The pain of losing someone is sometimes to much to bare, and it takes years and years to get over the heartache of that loss. Take your time in dealing and one day you will awake from slumber and know that you will be okay. Peace be with you. Awesome write! |
