I couldnt talk about it so I wrote a poem

One, two, three, four, five.
Close eyes
Deep breath
Mind’s silent now.


One, two, three, four, five.
Open eyes
Grass
Fabric
Tree
Bird
Sour
Grounded now.


One, two, three, four, five.
Close eyes
Deep breath
Try again tomorrow.

Seamstress

I whispered goodbye with my forehead pressed against the pane.


My breath fogged my words as I watched you walk from my thoughts.


The loneliness is longer this time. 


My side seems so bare now that the threads are undone. 


I should find my sewing box.

Mood

I'm in a mood today,
I couldn't tell you why.
It's like I've lost all my hope,
Some sort of emptiness inside.


I'm in a mood today, 
I think I'm kind of numb.
I feel I've lost a part of me,
Something sucked out all the fun.


I'm in a mood today,
Loneliness is on my side.
I could shut myself away for a bit,
My blank face, I'll hide.

No

I said no today.
It scared me.


What will they think of me now?
I didn't bend, nor break, I stood my ground.

What will they think of me now?

Not lonely after midnight

The house is quiet after midnight.
My mind is not.

Shadow Me

There's a shadow behind me,
It goes where I go.
It.


There's a shadow following me,
It watches what I do.
It whispers.


There's a shadow beside me,
It fades my sight.
It whispers to..


There's a shadow in front of me,
It pushes on my chest.
It whispers to me..


There's a shadow around me,
It makes it hard to breathe.
It whispers to me, you..


There's a shadow touching me,
It makes me freeze.
It whispers to me, you aren't..


There's a shadow drowning me,
It makes my limbs stiff.
It whispers to me, you aren't good..


There's a shadow consuming me,
It takes parts of me.
It whispers to me, you aren't good enough.


There's a shadow.
