Feel

How can it be that sorrow is all I feel?
To shut off all that’s real
To play the role yearning for applause
Worth judged only by accolades accorded me

Oh woe is me the drama queen
Something, any little hint that I am not alone
The little box I’ve built for me
Is long since just debris

Now when I feel
And when I move and it seems so real
I crash and burn on waxen wing
To the delight of Ra, the bitter king

Vane and pitiful, Hopeless, lost
So sorry for myself
Hiding in the smiles and jokes
Afraid to face the cost

Where is balance, where is centre
The place where truth lies
Just before it dies

The search for help not quick enough
Another symptom of dire disease
Afraid to stand
So much easier with head in sand

Dysfunction begets dysfunction, how do we fight an onslaught which comes from with...

Diary Note

 My fears are not in my mind, my mind is a slave to my fears. I feel the rebound of my Spiritual highs, this feels like one, the lack of ethanol and caffeine dragging my psyche down. THC up, sitting in the library "listening" to the pressure in my heart, if feels like a web of tensions spreading across my back.  Years ago, when I first started to self-medicate, I was able to let my rational mind, this allowed me to perceive the sensation I was experiencing as a sentient presence which moved as my mind's eye espied it.  unfinished thoughts...
