I know not where it is, I should turn

As thoughts inside, begin to churn

An acid, meant to truly burn

A helpless moment, of which I yearn

*

To cast away, the thoughtless words

From a hateful voice, it’s so absurd

To know that I’m not really heard

My patience, buried, now interred

*

Into hopelessness, I need to fight

To end this horrid, dreadful plight

That I endure, both day and night

For where there seems, no end in sight

There will come a time, when

I venture outside these walls

This place I call my sanctuary

Where only I can hide away

And no one knows why

I am feeling low, except me

The urge is always there

But remains depleted

And I am empty in this shell

Locked away, in a cocoon

Like a caterpillar, trying

To break free, to fly away

Like a butterfly, in the breeze

Perhaps one day, I will go

Journey out into the unknown

Spread my wings, take flight

But for now, I will remain

Tucked away, safely

In my own little world

 

March Writing Prompts – Unreplenished urges – Day 31/31 – Wow, another month in the books. This one flew by much too quickly! On to April!!

I see you every evening, when I close the light

Darkness in my doorway, lurking in the night

What is it you’ve come for, what is it you need?

You don’t answer, but my sleep, you do impede

I try to close my eyes a bit, yet, I can still see

Your shadow lurking in the night, making fun of me

But I can’t hear your laughter, I can’t hear your voice

I try to block you out of my mind, as if I have a choice

You can leave now, go on, and just let me go to sleep

So I can dream of shadows…

…that around my bedroom, creep

Wasted
The hours in a day
Doing nothing
Wallowing
In empty air
And blank spaces
The mind
Reeling
In no specific direction
Slamming
Into a brick wall
But no damage
Except to the soul
Damaged
Torn apart
Ripped
From its very essence
Mangled, as if
It had been ravaged
By a predator
But that predator
Only lives within me
The walls
I have built myself
Keep me
Safely guarded, away
From the vicious
And yet
I want to explode
To let it out
Still
No one will hear
No one will care
No one
Even notices
How lost
Inside myself
I am
No one

How do I make you hear
Better still, understand
When my words fall
On deaf ears, am I
But a hum, or drone
You have so easily
Tuned out, turned off
Or is it you who simply
Does not care to listen
Muting the sounds
Too full of yourself
To admit wrong
Ignoring the signs
You need help
Or to notice
I am right
Here
