A Broken Mind

Today I'm merely just here, floating in and out of reality. I live in a town called fear, A dream like state that's 3 D. I am trapped in my broken mind, grasping for things that's no more. But somehow I left myself behind, life has become a hard and a bore. As I gaze at the cracked mirror, “ I apologize for giving up on you you deserve more than this horror; I should have taken my meds Adieu.” 4-26-19 Contest: Apology Sponsor: Line Gauthier

A chilling look into one's own soul---with a welcome burst of nervous laughter at the end. All's well that ends... 'well?' Angster-piece Theatre. :) gw

Very honest, dark, and deep ... and I so relate. I pray this is not your current state, my friend. Blessings to you, Alexis - drop me a note sometime! :-) <3

This poem is chilling. It reveals a tiny bit of what goes through the mind of someone suffering with depression so badly they feel they need to exit. The sadness is that it captures reality. Excellent Alexis! This is sure to do well in the contest. xxoo

There are meds for everything these days, I suppose they keep us alive and on track. Like how you done this Alexis, sometimes we are our own worst enemy. Good luck. Tom.
