when the world you want
fades away
fantasies of what could have been
maybe should have been
continue to plague your mind
withdrawing internally
from that which wasn’t attained
it digs at your essence
desires just sharp reminders that you failed
weave in and out of your mind
everything feels hollow
surrounded by emptiness
your head, heart, and your soul buried under sand
drifting further away from reality
you are alone with your madness
I know this place only too well! I am relating!
This is a hard place to function in. Geesh do I know!
Same. But we’re still here. Thanks, Belladonna!
Amen!

Powerful poem.
Appreciate it, Diana!
🙂
Wow! This is such powerful poetry, Susi. I sincerely hope this is not how you feel now. 🦊❤️❌🌷
<3 Thank you, dear Carolyn! It is NOT how I feel now. :)
This indeed is the story of many who live their lives in regret.
Yes, that as well. Thank you, Sadje!
You are always welcome 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Susi this one is astonishing. You describe the mental confusion and turmoil exactly as it is. <3
Sadly, I think I did because I’ve lived it. :( Thank you, Val! <3
