Minds Space

My mind in a dark space wondering! Excited but scared to reveal when invited inner emotional love and feelings and pain keeping me safe and so called sane My creation and life thereafter killed me My person now to re-create when required to go back to my darkness when frightened. Contained inner emotions differently reflected reactive when exposed to challenges. Existing in life without living and loving, unfairly pushing away the undead. Grasping onto my want and need to live, my existence to death to be discovered.

Such deep emotion, Mark! It's a deases we all go thru, and we must learn to see the other side of life that we can come thru and learn there is life to live for. All the best, Mark... Hugs :)

I read this as a poem about depression and loneliness. I am myself clinically depressed so that's nothing strange to read about. I hope though that you are okay.

Hi Darren Thank you for reading, much appreciated. It is a moment I think we all at sometime reflect on and fall into, I just needed to express my feelings and thoughts at that specific moment. Important to understand yourself and recollect the values of life that are positive. Regards, Mark
