Tumbling

Posted on 07/06/08, 01:16 am

I'm tumbling into the hole of my heart

There is no coming back from there

I can crawl, and claw but all I manage

Is more self destruction

I am tumbling into the darkness of my soul

A dangerous neighborhood

I can loot, and scream, and burn things down

But all I manage is to add to the problem

I am tumbling into the depth of my fear

A smashed mirror that still reflects what I don't want to see

I can paint my face, tone my body, bat my eyes and more

But all I manage is worthless

I am tumbling into the crevices of my mind

A war that is always fought but never won

I can pick up a weapon, all in self defense

But all I manage is suicide

I'm tumbling into the hole of my heart

There is no coming back

I'm lost and can't get back

I'm never coming back

  Faith, your poems are always so full of emotion and heartfelt pain. I pray that one day you can stand tall and be proud of who you are, as I am to be your friend.

  I understand your imagery here. I feel sometimes like I too am sinking into the darkness inside myself and all the negitivity in mind leaves me feeling so worthless. I try to remember that I have a choice to change my thinking though. I yell shut up at the ugly thoughts and try to re[place them with a reminder of something I appreciate about myself or this life. Stay strong and focused and keep writing. Thanks for sharing.
