Full Force

Imprinted into my desired slumber
I lie here; awake
distracted by the simple fact that I can write
In a way that each bone completes every sentence of my structure 
and my blood flows, intricately into everything 
and everyone else
and it's paralyzing 
I've doused myself in a seasonal dressing
Coating me in a way that I have to accept
the personal concept,
that I'm fearless, but I fear
the way you glance my way

almost as if, you're uncertain with your life
I'm uncertain, too
but because of the fact that life is 
messing me up,
like a week old pile of laundry, cleaned; now, the crumb catcher
awfully cluttered

I woke up today and it's quite funny, because I'm considering
slipping away
into nothingness, but I chose, once again

to feel okay

"I'm considering slipping away into nothingness, " - Sandra, I came back to read this poem again, and this phrase again jumped out and grabbed me. I LOVE it. It calls to my soul.

"I woke up today and it's quite funny, because I'm considering slipping away into nothingness." What a profoundly wonderful poem, especially that part! Welcome to Poetry Soup, Angela.
