Sanctuary of the Womb

The Sanctuary Of The Womb.
.
When this loveless world gets too much
And my pain is such
I lock the door and close the blinds
And lick my wounds 
Within the confines
Of my room
Safe and soothing
In darkness
As a baby in the womb
.
Often my resolve and afflicted spirit
Wears thin
And I feel that my prison walls
Are closing in
I’m thrown into the deep end
Of desperation
Although I can not swim
.
The days turn into nightmares
Sleep at night my escape
Sudden realisation of my struggle
Hits me like shell shock
When I awake
My mind is but a prison
And my heart a heavy weight
.
Once my wounds have only
Partially healed
The prison door is open in my mind
I unlock the door
And open up the blinds.
.

Jennifer Proxenos December 21, 2020 at 11:19 AM Don't think of yourself as alone Peter, this year has been so difficult for so many people, and when one has unfeeling, bitter relatives, it feels even worse. You sound really down in the dumps my friend and almost desperate, but try talking to God as a friend, (I do) and tell him your problems, he is the Universe's best psychologist - your heart will feel so much lighter. Hugs, Jennifer.

Alexis Y. December 21, 2020 at 6:42 AM Hi Peter, There is much sadness and despair in your heartfelt write. Nevertheless, I see good content and creative metaphors. I also a tinge of hope. I little bit of hope puts a big dent in despair and hopelessness. We all have had dark days and bouts of depression. It gets better, my friend, one day at a time:-) Alexis
