Turmoil At My Doorstep
Listen to poem:
surprised at letting someone
through the backdoor of my life
not wanting it to work
in so many different ways
wanting the grief to continue
to carry on with its destruction
wanting the mourning to
plow through undisturbed
wanting to maintain the momentum
of the familiar downward spiral
to the utter depths of hell
not wanting to be okay
not wanting to silence
the voices in my head
not wanting to be freed
from the weight off my back
most of all not wanting to
pick up and start anew
not wanting to fill the void
scared to feel okay
