RantA Poem by underthemaskI’m trying to force the words to come to my mind that may
make my soul feel lighter. The words
that will express the feelings that I can’t bare to show. The words I can write down and let them go in
a world where people might read them and maybe they won’t. But at least I would
get them out. I’m trying to twist and
bend my feelings into words to explain the chaos inside my mind. This is a task I am unable to do. I don’t know how to put these feelings into
words and when I force them it never comes out right. It doesn’t come from my soul it comes from my
mind and nothing in me feels better. So
why when I feel I need the relief I get from writing more then ever am I not
able to find the words? Why when my soul is crumbling and the temptation of my
own personal demon is at its worst am I not able to write a line that will
release some of this pain. I think it’s
that I’m scared. Subconsciously I am
afraid that if I let one line out to relieve the pressure that’s getting ready
to blow that I will completely fall apart and down on the floor and that maybe
just maybe this time I won’t get up. I’ll
dig deeper and deeper numbing out on the way until I become a girl I do not
know. But I know if I don’t get it out I
am going there any way. My heart is
already shattered and my soul is going black.
I look into the dead eyes of the one who used to always have my
back. His heart is still beating and his
skin is still warm but the person that I know is gone from his body and left
him with out a soul and the deeper that he digs the farther down I am dragged
because I don’t know how to let him go.
Out of fear, out of love, out stupidity maybe I’m not sure. So I seek the relief of a demon but that’s only
short lived so I turn to a blank page instead but the words won’t fill the page
as my mind continues to race driving me insane! So please some one tell me how
it is I feel. Some one tells me what its
like to feel real for just a moment so that I can believe that this too shall
pass again for me. That this hole that I’ve
jumped into is the end of the road if I choose to pick myself up and do what I know to do. Its one day at a time. Today I am
clean. I have stains on my skin and holes in my heart but just for today my
blood is pure and at least I have a chance.
As for him, I fear the devils got his skin. © 2015 underthemaskAuthor's Note
