Tracy Craighead Poems

The anxiety is choking me and my GOD I can not breathe
fear and anger consume my days and nights
I am tired but I can not sleep
because this tiger is real, and he is chasing me
...

I dance in the grey
I live in the black
But yearn for the white
...

Pretending you are gone....it's how I get by
Pretending you never were
Pretending I never loved you
Pretending you will never come home
...

Self righteous, he is an enemy
and holds the power
to terrorize me
does he come from hell
...

They bit hard with tongues
Left bleeding his soul
Silenced his spirit
Their hearts black as coal
...

It was awful in a way all tragedy plays out.
Destruction on a level that few can see.
As evil presents with a smile….
Deceptively kind with a hidden desire.
...

I see you shadowed in moonlight,
A halo surrounding your head
My back on the trampoline
Slightly damp but I don't care.
...

Garry

I see a shadow above your head
A cloud weighing you down
...

Father

I didn't answer your call
Or bother to return it
...

I'm stuck in the storm, whirling round about
Everything I know, now upside down
Promises made years ago.....
So suddenly, but-easily set free.
...

Irony rings In my ears like a siren
its meaning is only clear to me.
Signs are everywhere,
I Choose to ignore....
...

As September departs I've said goodbye,
To all those I've loved laden with lies.
To all of the romance made up in my mind
Turning away from a narrative too hard to describe.
...

Narrowly I trip through the wires
Carefully crawling, body low
Hugging the earth, kissing the ground
Dodging the bullets and their constant flow
...

She was always eager to please, her every breath grasping for praise
when angry faces turned her way, she secretly died and started to drown
Growing down, while growing up…..perfect is a place so hard to be
'just don't disappoint them, make them happy'
...

He pushes me away and proclaims his love
He says its unending, undying,
blessed from God above.
I believe him, seduced by the calm
...

It's so very hard, writing this to you,
senior well-wishes
bring a tear in my eye and magnify
that your time
...

I can't describe the blow dealt today, I miss him so much.
all taken away so quickly, and for nothing.
They do it with ease, not even slowing to step over me
slipping past, back into their lives
...

You don't know me, you can't see me.
You don't know the twisted thoughts.
You don't know the anger, adrenaline,
you don't know the fear,
...

19.

I can't describe the blow dealt today, I miss him so much.
all taken away so quickly, and for nothing.
They do it with ease, not even slowing to step over me
slithering past and back into their lives
...

My heart pounds in my ears, I can't sleep without you.
I can't turn off my mind, I can't rest at all.
I am so very afraid, filled with fear
What do I do? Where do I go from here?
...
