I'M In a Daze

I heard Tyesha all day long Not knowing it' my name I hear this voice inside my head It's so hard to explain Dead I feel, Dead feel I , feel I Dead, I feel Dead Can you understand a word I've said Staring at pure darkness Each and every night Looking through my eyes not blind Afraid to see the light All along I thought, Usually it's true Fearing for my life or death What else is there to do Sitting here all by myself Avoiding many others While wondering Why it may be That I am made to suffer Driving down the freeway My mind goes in a trance Trying to find my way home I just missed my exit I just daze off into the clouds Taking my mind on a different route Thinking of life as it sits with me How much I've wondered with reality What could have been, What did I miss If I had known, what I have shown How my life would be today If I can chosen another way Struggling with all the possibilities What does this life hold in store for me The need to stand still and think Is brutally concealed to something that Just cannot be Holding back so much pain Is something that can take you over Releasing anger, stress and disappointments Is your road to a new recover It's funny, I can't act It's weird, I can't sleep It's strange all I do is think But it's normal I can't eat Too much silence, I can't stand Too much noise, I can't take Being alone is what I hate But the choice that I have Is not up for debate A little girl, that left no trace After all that is thought Is soon forgot.... I'm truly in a Daze....

Wow. Seems like you made a wrong decision somewhere along the line and are ready for that much needed change. Life is one big learning lesson. There is much angst in this poem, but I am truly enjoying your excellent writing. Hoping 2009 brings you much joy and peace within. Love, Shar

Hi there, Tyesha! this is great, and BOY can I relate! I am in a daze constantly. lol my husband thinks I'm a space-cadet, as my mind is often very far off, daydreaming, thinking...thank you so much for all of your comments, they were very kind. :) Blessings to you, Kristin
