With thoughts that intrude willy nilly
Negative feelings of myself as a being
Coupled with fear of the future

My heart is a teacup smashed to pieces
By people who I love and trusted
Unlovable feelings of myself as a being
Coupled with fear of the future

My arms are cotton buds still intact
Blood still doing its usual cycle
Thoughts of ending myself as a being
Versus fear of the kids’ future

My feelings and fear is a fire burning
Deep within my soul, yet from the ashes
Thoughts of myself as a worthwhile being
Coupled with hope for the future

You paint a clear picture of what your struggles and dreams are they are very similar to my own.

Very beautifully written. There's a lot of anger and sadness that you've expressed very well.

Blessings
Love, Jenna

Stark and clearcut. I like the teacup reference, although the cotton-buds were a little peculiar, to my mind. But it obviously means something to you, so that's the main thing.

Emotive and involving.
Thanks for sharing again.

Ah - I recognize the process of self examination through writing here - I know it quite well myself. I'm pleased to see that you end of a positive note... and therefore wonder about why you slipped this into the suicide poetry category (it reads more as something worthy of the self struggling category).

I love the reference to 'from the ashes'. It is, I believe, quite a lovely reference to finding/allowing hope to return - out from under fear and pain and much struggle, to be placed again, delicately, at the top of the heap where it so rightly belongs. Overall, well done!

With wishes that the hope continues to grow,
SNM
