Dark rooms and laying.
Smoking and swaying.
Driving without reason.
The habits we create for replacing nothing.
I once knew trust.
But it has never been a friend.
And my mind plays with guitar riffs,
Like trees dance with wind.
Meditating within instead of without thought.
I swim through tangled webs.
Struggling, scared I will soon drown without air.
But I refuse to keep it simple.
This is the place Ill always be,
if you try to look for me.
But you can't enter somebody's hell.
Only your own.
Some find the exit door and lock it.
I keep away, and turn to shades.
Because even when the shades are down,
And I cant't see the sun.
It somehow shines outside each window.
Beating on frigid glass.
Smoking and swaying.
Driving without reason.
The habits we create for replacing nothing.
I once knew trust.
But it has never been a friend.
And my mind plays with guitar riffs,
Like trees dance with wind.
Meditating within instead of without thought.
I swim through tangled webs.
Struggling, scared I will soon drown without air.
But I refuse to keep it simple.
This is the place Ill always be,

And I cant't see the sun.

Painful. Beautiful.
You have no idea how much I appreciate you taking time to read and post a comment.
I find it most encouraging, to never give up writing.
a rich, dark display of a lonely place.
i must have read beating on frigid glass seven or eight times.
Be well, B. And thank you for giving meaningful voice to my own feelings. Usually, writing serves my depression well and vice versa. Not always, though. This is one of those creative lulls.
Wow. Thank you.
This blog and all the people who have been following has become my favourite place, separated from the world of reality I strive to escape from.
Your writing is addicting.
I've never gotten that before. Thank you.
