Moments of Despair (Poetry)
Updated: Nov 23, 2021
Too tired to move
Too awake to sleep
Diving in emotions
Dark and deep
Swimming back up
To feel the air
To breathe in love
And breathe out despair
Swirling in rapids
Unable to find
The surface above
As chaos circles my mind
Drowning, while reaching
For a hand to take hold
To pull me up out
Of this darkness below
Faith, I have faith
And drowning I see
Is only in my mind
Like the depths of this sea
When I centre myself
It’s clear in my mind
That my body is safe
That the despair is inside
Hanging my head
In heartache and pain
Wishing I weren’t
So fucking insane
Take a deep breath
And let be what will be
Let the thoughts pass
Continue to breathe
