I have no idea what's behind that door I so drastically fear.

I loathe the nights I toss and turn;
I run circles in dreams that seem endless in churn.

Far fetched; control is lost...
how much will this confusion thus cost?
My mind, my heart, my sanity -- then what, for why? -- must I continue to try?

Faith lost - hope gone.

Nothing to motivate these ungreased wheels.
Nothing to set motion upon these tired heels.

Bridges burning that lead to any future I dream.
I'm headed straight for the bottom, or though it would seem.

I think -- and think
to answers I beg to return to my thoughts before my hope does perilessly sink.

To join the crowd -- to feel again --
Nothing to nowhere I fear I will end.

Make haste, for my breaths are steadily ceasing;
to catch not a wind of oxygen to inhale ~ will the last thing I complete,
be not but to fail? [comments] => 3 [counter] => 162 [topic] => 61 [informant] => kareless [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 3 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => selfstruggles )

Be Not...

I don't know what to do from here...
I have no idea what's behind that door I so drastically fear.

I loathe the nights I toss and turn;
I run circles in dreams that seem endless in churn.

Far fetched; control is lost...
how much will this confusion thus cost?
My mind, my heart, my sanity -- then what, for why? -- must I continue to try?

Faith lost - hope gone.

Nothing to motivate these ungreased wheels.
Nothing to set motion upon these tired heels.

Bridges burning that lead to any future I dream.
I'm headed straight for the bottom, or though it would seem.

I think -- and think
to answers I beg to return to my thoughts before my hope does perilessly sink.

To join the crowd -- to feel again --
Nothing to nowhere I fear I will end.

Make haste, for my breaths are steadily ceasing;
to catch not a wind of oxygen to inhale ~ will the last thing I complete,
be not but to fail?
