Array ( [sid] => 156366 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Darker [time] => 2009-12-30 18:47:51 [hometext] => In the midst of desperation, we cling to what has been. Is it enough? [bodytext] => Lost and confused
Fear envelopes my face.

Like a clear force
Depriving my lungs of their air
Pushing my guts
Weighing me down

I think of my childhood
I hold it as comfort, inside me

For a moment, the terror subsides
Warmth is again within reach

But only a moment
The comforting feeling subsides
And the wave of dispassion
And fear
And of doubt
Takes hold of my soul once again

My legs move more slowly
I dream of the past
I hope for the future

And the moment is lost
To never return
Killed by the agony of fear

Lost and confused is this child
Not a dream, not a nightmare
Not even a fear

It’s all real
It’s all real [comments] => 2 [counter] => 230 [topic] => 36 [informant] => matteo [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 8 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Suicide )

Lost and confused
Fear envelopes my face.

Like a clear force
Depriving my lungs of their air
Pushing my guts
Weighing me down

For a moment, the terror subsides
Warmth is again within reach

But only a moment
The comforting feeling subsides
And the wave of dispassion
And fear

I hope for the future

And the moment is lost
To never return
Killed by the agony of fear

Lost and confused is this child
Not a dream, not a nightmare
Not even a fear

It’s all real
It’s all real

Yes. Objective reality is a nightmare that I share. Many strive to loosen its hold upon us but the learning curve to escape is longer than the years we have programmed for us. One day (it could be tommorrow) we will have it all.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
