Let Me Sleep

Numb me down
to the pain
Let me sleep
it all away

Leave me now
in my dreams
Let me die there
peacefully

I don’t belong
in this life
I never fit
let me die

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

This is a short yet expressive poem, Cindy. I can 'feel' what you are/were going through. Life is definitely not a bed of roses, but we have to learn to cope and not throw in the towel. May the sun shine more often in your life...bless you. *** Regards // paul

Paul, thank you so much for reading my poem and giving me feedback on it. You have no idea how much that means to me, whether positive or negative feedback. Very much helps me understand better how I'm coming across to readers. Thank you for your kind words. Take care, Cindy

This is beautiful but sad. As this is suicide prevention month I hope your heart is lifted my love by penning your poems on pages. I have felt this way and I am not proud to say I acted on it. God intervention and therapy followed. Now I can say I write my dilemma away. Looks as if you do too. Kudos. Well done.

Wow, thank you so much! You have no idea how much your feedback means to me! Very kind! When others give me their thoughts on my poems, it really does help me as a poet to understand better how my words connect with others and what their impressions are. Thanks again!
