Alone With My Thoughts Poem by Patricia Gillaspy

Alone With My Thoughts

Rating: 5.0


Alone, deep inside my head;
Pushing me to the brink of death.
My thoughts alone are crushing me;
Why doesn't anyone see the pain I bring.
Pain, Fury, Death, and Sadness;
Mixed with hopes and dreams for happiness.
I arise from the dead, and then fall back on my face;
Haunting memories of my hurtful past, I'd like to erase.
Alone in this world, no one could ever understand,
I know your here for me, but please put aside your helping hand.
For you can't save the damaged, and you can't fix the broken;
So many words I've left unspoken.
Soon one day I will finally see;
If I lead the life, you chose for me.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
a factor of my past. This represents my abuser and what he has accomplished in messing up my life, my mind, and everything I use to represent as a person. A kind hearted soul being torn apart by my own thoughts and feelings. Will I lead the life he chose for me?

Inside our heads is where we are the strongest.If we do not give the strength a direction, it becomes a poison that weighs us down and kill us, slowly and silently. Whatever the situation is, listen carefully to yourself, your thoughts I mean. We all know what is best for us deep within our thoughts, we just usually need someone to direct us and affirm that we are thinking the right thing. I hope you find relief from whatever battle you are fighting with your thoughts. And by the way, your poetic skill with which you wrote this is exceptional, do keep up the good work.
