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.
