All Screwed Up

All Screwed Up 

I am all screwed up in the head..
Dangerous emotions; thoughts misled.

My will to live has died..
Trials and tribulations coincide..

Heart bleeds, the throes of battle.
Last breath, turmoil blameful.

Alone and lost in this present domain..
Can't escape the past to which I am chained..

Living a lie, tear stained face..
Feeling dejected, out of place..

Harsh words, degrading submission..
Soul depleted, now a vixen.

Sharing grief and disappointment helps to heal. I think we all do a little of that on this website, and it really does release some of the anger and pain. Keep writing, and keep on..going on..one day at a time! Sincerely, Carrie
