Holding On

Just holding on till Wednesday,
Then I will be free of this weight in my head.
My need for constant distraction,
That is tormenting my mind.
It can’t sleep, it needs rest.
I need to throw over the blanket
That will stop me living one day at a time
If I can just make it through today,
Then tomorrow will be different.

But tomorrow is the longest day away.

The blanket will bring comfort.
I will loose perspective,
But regain my rest, just for now,
Until I am strong enough to stand on my own again.
Till I don’t need to keep reminding myself
That I have to get up I the morning,
And I have to eat
And I have to breathe.

Until then comes my blanket will be there.
Just holding on till Wednesday.

Hi Karie

Thanks for your kind words. I'm sorry, my notifications go to an old account that I rarely check anymore (mental note to self to change that while I'm here...).

I lost grip of the rope a couple of times, but didn't quite plunge into the darkeness that I expected Smile - it was a while ago now that I wrote that poem, but I still rember the feelings very well. Thanks for your kind words. Hope all is well in your world Smile

Eb Exclamation

yup... just wait for Wednesday...
actually, just wait for the next minute to pass if Wednesday is SOOOOOO far away.... (it makes Wednesday not exist)... just wait for the next minute and then the next and the next and the next and the next...

by the way.... don't forget to congratulate yourself with a hug with each passing minute
