No such thing as normal only...abnormal


Emotions are stronger
Than words
Feelings cannot truly
Be described with
Only one word
They need phrases
And sentences in
Order to be described
But I have
Many emotions
More than others
Think of
A dark square room
With no doors or
Windows just you
And the dark walls
What does this
Remind you of?
Do you think of
A cage or prison?
Well I think
Of my mind
The one place I can’t escape
With the never-ending
Rows of words and emotions
Where my words are slurring
And emotions are stirring
The lines that I am rehearsing
Turn into the thoughts that I'm cursing
I just scream and shout
I NEED OUT!
I'm going to break
I'm going to shake
Which is sometimes
Worse that breaking
I need to just escape for a day
Where I don’t have to sit and stay
A day to escape from reality
Into a place of virtuosity
I don’t care I just need out!
I can’t do this anymore
It’s like a roller coaster
And an announcer saying
Sit and enjoy the ride
But the ride
Is worse than life it’s self
Where I get to the top of the hill
Then just drop down
And continue the cycle
Over and over again
For the rest of my life
Where I'm all alone
In the dark
And no one understands me
I'm different and know it
My mind is my own worse
Enemy the only thing making
Me completely incomplete
And perfectly imperfect
And I can never escape
My worst fear
For I will forever and always
Be trapped and suffering
In the dark lonely walls
Of my mind
Where there are no
Cracks or holes
To escape,
To just get out.

This is poem is a bit deep, dark, scary, but true if you like it or not.

&ldquo;If I speak in the tongues of angels, but have not love, I&#039;m only a resounding noise , If I have the gift of knowledge, And if my faith moves mountains high, But have not love I am nothing&hellip; Though I know the One, Who holds the stars in the heavens, In the palm of His hand, If I give all I possess , To the poor and the helpless, I&#039;ll still gain nothing, Without love&hellip; Love&#039;s patient, True love is always kind, Love does not envy, Never brags, it&#039;s never proud, Slow to wrath, it keeps no records of wrongs against friends, Love forgives&hellip; It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.&rdquo; (1 Corinthians 13:1-5,7)<br /> &ldquo;If the world hates you, remember that it hated Me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.&rdquo; John 15:18-19<br /> &quot;The world is not respectable; it is mortal, tormented, confused, deluded forever; but it is shot through with beauty, with love, with glints of courage and laughter; and in these the spirit blooms...&quot; ~ George Santayana
