Word of the Day Challenge #91-Untitled Poem

Badgered

promised

worn down

told

you were enough

you were the one

I had been waiting for

the one

who would hurt me no more.

Prophesied

spells cast

love runes scratched

fate waited

whispers across the seas

I knew

I could feel

you coming for me.

Bow before

on my knees

supplication

eyes adore.

I see you

really see you

beneath

bluster

contained rage

desire

want

a place to lay

weary head

tired body.

Daddy’s babygirl

my gift to you

spurned

repudiated

tears falling

pain crawling

trust gone…..

I have been left

alone

bereft

lowly creature

it is not I

who fucked up.

Sadness

Woke up sad again today. Tears falling. A general sense of lethargy. I am forcing myself to do my exercises even though I am really not in a mood.

When you tell people you are sad most, at least 90% in my experience, mitigate how you feel. There is a full moon. Oh you just need to get out more. Oh yeah so and so feels like that too you should talk to them. So I am going to chose very carefully who I tell.

Also, I have no energy to give to anyone but myself. I am not able to prop you up, hold your hand and be a cheerleader for you. I need to focus that energy on myself. To getting more well so I can go back to my regular day to day living.

When I sit, tears streaming down my face do not assume that I can be made to stop it you offer me chocolate or coffee. I may not even want or be able to talk but listening to you talk to me like I am a child is also not going to do anything for me.

I do not know why I am feeling sad. I do not know why I sit here crying. What I do know is I am exhausted of being there for everyone else and feeling like no one is there for me.

PS: Usually this would be when I would turn to pills to help me to cope with how I am feeling. I do not nor do I have the desire to dull this. I am letting the sadness wash over me and the tears fall. And I will come out stronger for having done so.
