Trying To Be Caring Whilst Feeling Like You Are Suffocating

The panic is just out of sight And so I'm not being nice Though I'm doing nice things I feel terrible that I want to run Maybe everyone who's ever soothed me Wanted to be somewhere else too I don't know, I don't know The world confuses me When I run out of emotion I'm an empty head, making sensible choices I am so tired and I don't know how to be the soother I need to be soothed myself I'm a child in this moment with all the longing to be saved from the responsibility I can't handle I just need to make it through the moments And try to be proud of myself at the end I long for someone to say "I'll take it from here" and I'll feel safe that all is looked after

I have imagined your day to day and the responsibilities ,and attatched emotions.Does it help to know someone an ocean away cares? I hope so.

I appreciate it Vickey, honestly. This little flurry of poems wasn't about the day to day though. The day to day is mostly fine x in the main all is settled and happy x

I hope you find the solace you're looking for. Very deep and heavy stuff...

I was thinking how on the whole there was very little (other than the poetry it produced) to show at all I was bothered throughout the poetry inducing event... I wonder the difference without poetry? Maybe I'd have told my friends what was going on or lost the plot. I just sat calmly making sensible decisions as it was x
