Hello again

Sometimes I have to vent into the void

Hello again

dear reader

hello

how've you been?

 

me?

 

I could be better

I could be worse

I could just not be

I don't know

 

empty as a jug of used milk

maybe is me

 

vacuous for certain

a fountain 

seeking to be

filled

filled

filled

 

forgive me dear reader

for dumping on you like this

 

but who would I tell

who could I tell

 

what face

would read my eyes

and understand

 

none but the page I pen

 

Pen?

 

what a weird phrase

in this digital age

archaic at best

 

to write joyfully

to read and be blessed

It would be nice

 

Pleasant  words that I could

speak to this troubled heart

to soothe

 

oh this ride again

did it have to begin

 

how long this time

will it leave with rhyme

 

this spell won't last

the morning will shine

the feeling forgotten

distractions are a blessing

 

just sometimes late at night

I walk through the halls of memory

and pierce myself with regrets,

 

thank you

dear reader

for giving me your time

I love you

my faceless friend....

These feelings, and others, are mine as well. I live beside my auntie who is nice to me but I feel lost, my mother died when I was a child.
Sometimes I long for these feelings but no one to gawk at me besides the Olders.
I'm a loner. Too young to be here but too insecure to start over.
You should feel lucky, at least you know where you stand. You're awesome. As always.

Thankyou, very much, I think I'm losing my ability to write

[Dessi]

No, no. Not correct. You are just in a slump. Your ability is your gift, Dave W. You'll never lose it. Take a break. Talk to others. Lose the pressure to write. Take your kids fishing. You'll be relaxed and rejuvenated. Trust me.
