I’m in my pajamas
Day in day out
No reason I can fathom
To get in the shower
Yo make myself human
Just carry on
My dishes are stacked
Haphazard
Teetering on the edge
Like the story
That only ends
In disaster
I am too tired and worn
The ugly beast
Rears its head
Breathing poison
Into my frightened
Mind
My exhausted and broken
Body.
I don’t know how to
Shuffle off this mortal coil
Trying the same plan
Getting the same result
Over and over
Beaten down
I don’t pray
To a faceless God
That just proves
When no answers come
That my words
Bounce off the wall
Im here
Apparently impervious
To death.
Living in this empty shell
Is a far worse fate
Nothing more than a squeak
I’ll tell you I love you
Goodbye

Oh, don’t say goodbye. You are comfortable in your pajamas. Things could be worse.

You’ve read Hamlet, haven’t you? I liked this a lot. Good to get it out of your system.

@FatMama You have a real talent expressing yourself in your writing.
How are you doing? Are you OK? I just want to make sure the “Goodbye” is meant to be figuratively in your poem, and not literally in real life.

I’m having a hard time recently. Trying to keep it together. I’m hoping to be at the crisis unit on sunday or Monday. I want the goodbye to be figurative. Every day my mind gets foggy and my body aches. I feel like I’m a burden. My kids help keep me grounded and fill my.pained heart with love. They truly are the only reason I’m alive.

@FatMama I’m sorry you’re having a tough time right now. Hopefully you can get some relief and help at the crisis unit. Your kids are an excellent reason for you to stay alive. I hope that you are able to see additional reasons as you start to feel better. Take care.
