Painful Illusions by EmpathicMidnight, literature

Literature

Painful Illusions

My mind it plays tricks on me Thoughts racing visions tracing Empty faces Mentally beating me down Ignoring promises made Feeling betrayed How could I do this To myself Sleep eludes me night after night My feet wanting to take flight I thought I could make it through This mess orchestrated by you Heartbeat skipping as I lie awake Breath stopping as I try to escape The visions in my head They just won't quit Laughing, smiling, winking, beckoning Hands on flesh that once was mine I wish we could go back in time To before Sleep eludes me night after night My feet wanting to take flight I thought I could make it through This mess orchestrated

My Shadow World by EmpathicMidnight, literature

Literature

My Shadow World

I walk in the shadows, So you may walk in light. Let your darkness blend with mine, Watch my penumbra grow. Within these shadows I find peace, Able to live my cause. Through my world of light and dark, I am your sanctuary. Guidance of the north star, The flow from the moon. Stillness of the silhouettes, A conduit of tranquility. Reach out your hand and walk with me, Let me feel your pain. For in this world of misery, I will stay the same. Soothed by the darkness, Warmed by the light. My role is to absorb that which harms you, So watch me ebb and flow. Brightest at my centre, Darkest at my fringe. I may appear scary, Just ask to be let in. For

Empath's Song by EmpathicMidnight, literature

Literature

Empath's Song

In a world full of hate, How many see the light? When it's time to stand together, How many will choose to fight? Not with swords, No not with bombs above. To fight the hurt around us, We'll fight with light and love. How many lay broken and scarred? Alone in their shadow lands. How many need to falter, Before we all hold hands? I feel for the shattered, The ones who feel alone. I ache for the broken hearted, The world has not grown. People talk of healing, They say that they care. But in their darkest moments, Who is truly there? I cry tears for the unknown, People I've never met. I feel their shadows looming, But love they do not get. For

Untethered by EmpathicMidnight, literature

Literature

Untethered

My tether is on a timer Tik tok ticking Ticking the days away Soon to be severed I'll be floating Untethered A kite floating Floating through the world Not free Lost. Ticking ticking Tik tok goes the clock Day by day the time draws near Will I forget what it's like To feel home? Will I forget what it's like To feel like I belong? I don't want to be aloof I am tree With deep roots in the ground They can't be uprooted Can they? Home is where the heart is they say What if your heart stays with your home? What if your home is your core? Tik tok Will I become hollow?

Swimmin' by EmpathicMidnight, literature

Literature

Swimmin'

Tryin' to keep my head up Swimmin' up the stream But my mind is real fed up Inside I want to scream. You only get what you can take That is what they say But eventually we can break The pieces begin to sway. My pieces are crumbling As I swim on through My thoughts are fumbling With nothing I can do. Tryin' to keep my head up Swimmin' up the stream But my mind is real fed up Inside I want to scream. My plate holds a feast Only fit for a beast A monster who feeds on emotions As we go through the motions Of life. Strong I am but not immortal I've been through a lot In this world so immoral When comfort is all I've sought. Tryin' to keep

Lost In The Feelings by EmpathicMidnight, literature

Literature

Lost In The Feelings

Inside my heart is breaking, Emotions truly racing, As they compete to be, The feeling ruling over me. My thoughts are askew, While I think of you, The times you weren't there, The lack of words keeping me bare. If I only knew, It would be this way with you, Would I have reached out, To appease my doubt? At times I am perfectly fine, Not feeling tangled in red twine, Then it hits me like a train, Trying to see through the pain. I can't get passed all these feelings, Leaving my body reeling, It scars my heart, As I slowly break apart.

hunkered down..staying safe by natureguy, journal

hunkered down..staying safe

Jan 14, 2021

Hi, I have not been active on here for over 2 weeks now...reason is that virus has spiked in my area. and I'm not going out except for food shopping and such.... being in that age group that is at the most risk, I'm not taking any chances...besides the parks are closed once again, and the lakes and ponds frozen solid. this really limits as to what I can do or go.. not many photo ops.. and no fishing. Once I get that vaccination shot. I'll feel much more comfortable going out n about.. till then it's stay at home..watch fishing videos on you tube and just hang around the house. stay healthy my friends...I may be missing, but not gone forever.

My Bio

Hello 👋 I am just an every day person who uses written word to express the thoughts and emotions that I either feel I can't, I shouldn't or I am unable to express directly. I struggle with abandonment issues, anxiety and some serious overthinking which sends me down some dark thought paths or thought paths that my brain has completely fabricated messing with my sense of reality and my ability to trust. I don't think I am good at poetry, I don't try to be really, I just do this as a form of therapy I guess - a way to just get it out. It sometimes helps make my brain stop obsessively thinking about whatever it is.
