Just in a dark mood & feeling bad
about it which makes it a darker mood

~L.~


Just Don't Know How To Deal




Wolves are circling around your door
howling threats echoed in every call
cowering from the door in fright
there really seems like no end in sight

Chest pounding so hard you think it'd burst
feels like everything is getting worse
you feel shame about thinking of a final goodbye
and guilt if you hang your head and cry

How much further you'll go on you don't know
you wish the bad things in Life would just go
You do not feel like it's time to give up yet
you just don't know how to deal with this upset

You know of others that have things worse then you
so that's why you feel bad for daring to be blue
"Stop feeling selfpity" is what you imagine they'd say
so you fake a smile to say that things are ok.

I really like the way you deal with these feelings liz! that is what poetry does for us poets, gives us release from those over pressurised moments, we have from time to time. Release the pressure and a new day will shine.

I hope you are feeling a little more reassured today.

Smiling at you

Wolves are almost as good as ravens when it comes to poetry material, aren't they? ;-)

You really captured the pounding heart in this, Liz!
