Thoughts from a feeble mind. Shattered, broken, lying in agony. Body reflects the minds output. A broken husk of what once was. I’ve heard it all before, “Time heals all wounds”, “Keep your head up”, “If you love something let it go”, But it’s all well mannered lies. I’m told not to give up, But an end looks so right. An end... An end to my pain. Joints too sore, Mind always racing, Depression taking over. I’m trying to help, Uplifting them, but destroying me. Nothing I can say, It’s all been said before. Hope.. Hope is a key word I’m thinking of. Hope holds me high, thinking about love. But without hope, I’m left defeated. A mind trying to protect you, But causing so much unreal sadness. A tangible outcome, Only in my dreams. But can dreams become a reality? If they do, then I am beyond excited, But if they do I also fear for my life. At least I would, But there’s no fear left. Only uncertainty. Uncertainty of my love, uncertainty of finances, Uncertainty affecting all. I can only say, “come back to me”, so few times. It wouldn’t be fair. But life isn’t fair. Loving is an essential part of life, And I’ve messed up. Writing words that you’ll never read, Would they matter anyway? Nothing will change, Because it’s all coming from a broken mind.
