Scared


from the ABC set shamrock's ramblings

Feeling beaten, lost, abandoned.

Salty splashes, soak my bed.

Darkness sucks my breath and random

feeds the hammer, in my head.

Where have you all gone, I need you;

help me dissipate my fear.

If you were I, I would not leave you,

nursing thus, a lonely tear.

Pain, a living fire, burns bright,

lightning flashes, with each beat.

Medication, brings no respite;

impervious, to this white heat.

I know how, my sobs disturb you;

hearing yours, they did the same.

But I’m scared now; more than just ‘blue’,

This is life and death, no game!

I love the old-worldly feel to this, Chris - the rhymes work so well here. I know what it feels like to be trapped inside your own head, stuck in a hole, whether you dug it or not - but one piece of advice I've always taken with me is, no matter how deep the hole, you always climb out - even if it takes time and has to get worse before it gets better. Keep hanging in there ;)
