relapse

by Kalikala Smith

why am i at it again?
feeling like i should be sleeping,
and not existing.
will i wake up again?
hoping that its all a dream,
then i look up and it seems...
so real, so hopeless,
so i'm breaking down... again.

why do i feel so alone?
telling myself that people
really don't need me.
when will this mind game end?
thought that i was okay,
and now i'm breaking...
down so real, so hopeless,
so i'm breaking down... again.

Author's Note: beginnings of a song. yesterday was a major relapse into what i haven't felt in awhile. i really don't want another episode of that again in my life.

Sad lyrics. Could be a blues (or ol style country western) song. I'm sorry such unhappiness had to spark your creativity, but isn't that what poetry is all about,getting feelings, etc down? I've been there, too - hang in there.
