Summary:
Late night musing. Self-reflecting reveals what remains unresolved, things that need a conclusion. Sometimes that's letting down the burdens that weigh me down, and just closing chapters that torment my soul. Appreciate you. - Damian DeadLove

Memories are what I have left

Simpler times so it seemed

Every night was pure chaos

While days were growing difficult

 

Spent most the time drinking

The other half I was sleeping 

Somewhere between them both

Were little sparks of brilliance

 

Sober moments I had a few

Finding confusion at the root

It wasn’t a feeling I desired

Being alone with only myself

 

Always locked in my head

Chained to illusions of hope

But when I reached outward 

Reality pulled me back down

 

Suffocating on false promises

Weaving webs of pure insanity 

When the last card was dealt

It revealed my achilles heel

 

Life lessons are cruel moments 

Meant to bruise one’s ego

Stripped bare right to the bone

Depression feasts on failures

 

Slowly clawing my way up

Surrounded on all four sides

An apex predator lies in wait

Coiled and ready to strike

 

I must keep moving forward 

Inch by inch carefully stepping 

Over every obstacle revealed

Becoming a witness to truth

    1. The mind can be a technicolor bitch. Feast or famine, sometimes feeding us delusions & others smacking us with a solid dose of reality. Which after the delusion can be very jarring. And chaos can make for some hella good creative moments. So when it goes quiet…holy shit, now what? Keep on top of the beast, eyes open & ride it out, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. That’s all you can do is ride it out, and always learn from it as well. It’s very feast or famine for sure. It’s nice to have you back. Appreciate you.
