Support


Crying for a sign
Crying for some foresight
Crying for a definition of what is
right and wrong
I am not strong, I am not
a pillar
to lean on.
There is no one to speak to
no one will understand
or will they, only too well.

I have only you
the darkness of the night
the quiet whirring of the fan
to keep me company
Do not leave me now
I need you to speak to
to scream at
to claw my way out of this delusion
a deluge of delusion
web after web, wave after wave
I create my own world
and soon it becomes true
It becomes life
and I sit content
on my rocking chair,
pulling at the threads
in the abysmal depths of night
one by one by one.

Nothing to worry about at all :) I am doing fine. Random moments of insanity gives rise to a little creativity. This poem in my opinion is one of the best I have written, though it is a little depressing.

And yes bossy sister! I will go through her blog in more detail before I reply to her comments!
