I Am Not Ok

Why am I so emotional, it’s not fair. 
The amount of tears that I have shed, the despair. 
Why do my tears fall like the rain today 
My world cloudy in view 
I am not ok
All I seek is love and to be love.

A heartfelt poem. I feel the emotion I used to think I was unlockable Am divorced with adult children But still think all I want is to love and to be loved. I was an empty shell and was experiencing disociation disorder I just switched off life seemed like one of them virtual rides you can go on. Such a strange feeling of been there but not being there. Am glad you have someone to talk to. I'm on a waiting list for talk therapy. I found it helps. This time it's for ptsd symptoms.
