Grief is fire

LP2187


Notice of absence from LP2187
will be gone for a week

I drag the glass across my freezing skin

The grief is fire lighting my soul aflame

Can’t help but scream with aching burns within

No clue of what doing this helps me gain

A line of blood is shouting out with pain

My arm keeps throbbing but I cannot care

I feel my body cower and refrain

This torment I deserve I have to bear

My suffering I think I can’t compare

To those who don’t know what I’m going through

I wish I could make everyone aware

To give me happiness that I pursue

I say my fear makes everything hazy

When really I’m just being so crazy

    Fear can scramble senses and awareness. That’s a tough spot to be in. Sometimes I kinda freeze. 👍🏻🙏🏻🕊

        Raging emotions often taken for being crazy. After all what is crazy? Just a little further out on the continum maybe. People always judge those not like themselves as crazy. A thought provoking read
