Numb for Now...



Chemically relaxed
The sinking feeling is still there
Anger and frustration
Quietly gnawing inside
But somehow, a little further away

The pills will help tonight doc
But what about tomorrow?
When I have to pick myself up
Out of the rubble again,
Put on my "Mummy face"
And start to rebuild our little empire

Still so heavy of heart
I have to find that part of me
That can do what needs to be done
Tonight, I am defeated.....exhausted
Tomorrow I cease to be a victim

Keep up the fight at all costs!
From one who lost the battle many years ago.

"I have to find that part of me
That can do what needs to be done"--

powerful phrases and a beautifully balanced composition!

I think we all have a seed of joy inside that strives to grow and reach the light, even if it has to work its way through a lot of darkness first ... it's amazingly strong, I've been surprised many times.

I was very moved by your text - it shows both pain and insight, and strength too. Wish you all the best.

This is a brilliantly charged write of a woman facing her darkest fears and trying to find a way through. It is there, just hold on and each new day will renew your strength, when in doubt, best to do nothing and let time take care of you. It is true that quick fix's on fix the moment and we always have to face the reality that we try to suppress.

A beautifully inspiring write, thanks for sharing your pain with us here.

All the best to you
