Melting

I feel like I’m falling down into the abyss
The abyss of my mind
My thoughts are melting together 
They form one, big, jumbled mess
I cannot decipher what’s happening 
I continue to fall and fall deeper into my mind
No knowledge of where I’m going 
No remembrance of what I’ve left behind 
It’s like there’s no beginning to the end
It’s like there’s no end to the beginning 
It’s a never-ending cycle of fear
The fear of myself 
The fear of my words
The fear of life 
The fear of lies
The list goes on and on and on
Just like the emptiness in my heart
The hole in my head 
What was supposed to be there?
Who was I?
Who am I?
These questions are things I may never know
I may never try to know
My mind is melting
My fear 
It’s growing bigger and bigger each day
But what am I afraid of?
I don’t even know anymore
I can’t tell
It would be easier to fly 
Fly away from this body
From this life
From this world 
Into the skies
And out from the abyss

Eve: Have you been out among the "soupers" and read some of their stuff? It's almost therapeutic to write them comments about what you've just read and what it meant to you. Give it a try, there are sooo many great writers to chose from. Look forward to reading more of yours. oldbuck

Eve, you have fabulous imagination and natural talent to narrate. You remind me of my teenage years when I turned to poetry to deal with my problems which included bullying at school. Poetry made me feel like I could accomplish something positive out of negative feelings. Keep writing, you are good.
