In a stride to forget

Poetic Dan

People can see it very quick
Whether I'm in the mood for it

 

In the eye of my storm
I see how I need you all

 

Outside of this, it's as if
I need none of you to exist

 

In the tears of my anger
Through the hole in my gut

 

Stillness finds a home
Where no thoughts do roam

 

Darkness becomes a friend
None other do I depend

 

Not even a paper and pen
In a stride to forget everything

 

Yet a deep yearning pulls me back in
Asking if I'm done doing it all again

 

Happiness is my choice, one I can struggle to make
In a life of just a dream, when it can all become so fake

 

This mind is not mine to control
Through the looking glass of a soul
The weather does what it always will
Moved by the pressure of this world

        This really hit home for me, I got from this the hope but the darkness always seems more inviting, familiar somehow..
        Really good write! x

          I have read your post today several times and am still not sure whether there is far more here than immediately hits the eye.. your authors note has got me thinking... I do sense a certain fragile uncertainty.... I can be wrong.... I certainly was way back in 1974..... I will read your words again later my friend..... Neville

            Haha that really made me chuckle, I'd lend you my time machine but it won't go back pay 1981 😉

            There is so much more to this..
