Feelings

Feelings of death and despair
Sadness, dejection, misery, unhappiness
Follow me everywhere

To be whole again, and not in pain
Is just a dream as I can’t escape the
Feelings of death and despair

Where once I was happy and light
I am now saddled with cares
That follow me everywhere

Seeing other people kiss and hug
Makes me all more aware
Of my feelings of death and despair

Alone and on my own
My mind filled with images and thoughts
That follow me everywhere

As my borrowed time slips by,
I seek and struggle to purge these
Feelings of death and despair
That follow me everywhere

Without Knowing Why, I Cry

I feel you coming closer
As you creep into my dreams, and
I close my eyes and drift away.
Tortured by my own imagination
Abused by my own thoughts …
My breathing is laboured and

Without knowing why, I cry….

A new day, a new dawn
Brings with it a hope of calm.
As the water cascades over my body
Sensual thoughts race into my mind
I see how we fit together
How we ride the waves of pleasure,
I experience the explosion
Floating, falling, drifting, coming,

Without knowing why, I cry ….

I realise once again
That my life will never be the same
Celibacy forced on me
And only in my dreams will I
ever feel a tender touch
Fulfilling my every need.

Without knowing why, I cry ….

Me

Me
Empty, forlorn
Giving my all, always
Feeling used and abused again
Myself

Alone

Cacophony of sound 
Breaks through my penetrable wall
My mind still reeling 
From the dreams of the night
Leave me be
Surely you can see

I’m alone, even though not on my own

Mundane daily tasks
Force me to clear my mind
Of the heaven and hell my dreams inspire
Knowing there’s no escape
To be found while I’m still here
I yearn to be happy and free
Alive again without the pain
Of knowing I’ve lost me and

that I’m alone, even though not on my own

Reaching out is all I can do
But coming up short again and again
Breaks me and my resolutions wane
Somehow courage must be found
To deal with the fact that

I’m alone, even though not on my own

This is written in Bop format which is not an option to chose from

Chasms In My Heart

Cracks surround me
Expanding with every thought
Chasm’s in my heart

The crevasse is too deep
I fail at my attempts to fill
The cracks surrounding me

The world as I know it is
Splintering, shattering, snapping
Creating chasms in my heart

I’m drowning as the swell of my emotions
Engulfs me as they surge through
The cracks around me

Dejection, despondency, despair
I am imprisoned
By the chasm’s in my heart

Too tired to breathe
I’m falling through the
Cracks that surround me
Surrendering to the chasms in my heart!

Sadness

Sadness follows me everywhere
Everywhere I go
I wish I knew just how to shake
What makes me feel so low

My soul feels empty and alone
Without my knowing why
If only I could smile and laugh
Instead of frown and cry

Sleep alludes me once again
My mind awash with broken dreams
tortured by what might still be,
my pain so real but never seen

How I got here, no one knows
Please help me find a way
A way to for me to at last be free
From all this pain and misery.

Hey World

Hey world ……
I need some recognition
To be seen as me
For what I’m worth.

To be able to get away
From the feelings that plague me
day by day
That I’m unseen and all alone
Worth nothing more than a mere hallo.

Do my opinions count?
Does anyone care?
Will anyone doubt?
When they see my emotions bare

Without a cloak of pure disguise
I’m nothing, broken, just a dream
Of a soul who had so much to give
Of a soul who now will never be seen.

Tired

I’m tired of crying,
Crying over you.
I'm tired of lying,
lying because of you.
 
You have used and abused my caring heart
Pulled me in, then pushed us apart.
Your selfish nature has become plain
you've used me all for your own gain.
 
I know I'm worth so much more,
But the tug on my heart is oh so sore.
There are no more tears left to cry,
all thats left ..... Is just a sigh

Yopd

Y. O. P. D. 

No one ever expects to hear the words
*you have an incurable disease …
It's not going to kill you in the next few years 
But life as you know it will never be the same *

YOPD
Sounds like ìt could actually be quite fun 
But sadly Young Onset Parkinsons Disease 
Is not quite the party one might think it would be.

What is the cause?
No one seems to know
Apparently it’s not something you did or didn't do ..
The good Lord however decided that this is for you

Will this define me?
Hell no...not a chance!!!

It won't be Parkinsons Disease who has me
It will be me who has Parkinsons Disease
