Untitled - 2013
When I wrote this back in 2013, it was the first piece I had written after taking an almost two (2) year hiatus from writing. Not really sure what kept me from writing. I think it was just LIFE, but I'm sure if I delve deeper into it, there was a lot more going on.
But anyway, I didn't have a title for it then and to be honest, even if I came up with one now, I wouldn't change the name. I think the name - as it stands right now is apropos - don't you?
As far as I’ve come
I feel as if I’m taking
Steps
backwards
Feel like
I’m falling
Into an abyss
Into unknown
Unchartered
Territory
I’m trying
To get a feel for
A grasp of
All that is required
Of me
So that
I can
Turn this around
But it escapes me
I'm so close
Yet so far
Away
I’m frustrated
Overwhelmed
Tired
Tired of not knowing
Of not feeling
Of not caring
But those feelings
Or lack thereof
Give me some comfort
But, it's not REAL comfort
Yet
It allows me
To wrap myself
Up
Into a cocoon
And shelter
Myself
My heart
My Mind
From the unknown
But I understand
I acknowledge
Yes, even know
That that’s no way
For me
To live.
