usually crying is hard

squeezing eyes shut

red, raw, painful.

but today the tears flow

as if mother nature herself planted them

directly into the red corners of my eyes.

the ocean of blue so full of pain

it overflowed.

i wish i would feel adequate

enough

worthy

not of love, friends

no of life.

i sit

wishing i held myself highly enough

to let the world enjoy me

my presence

laugh

smile

contributions

ideas.

i hope one day

not to far away

i do.

not because of another,

my children,

a job,

certain amount of money.

i hope to be comfortable

 with living.

seems simple,

for surviving a day

to be second nature

not a carefully navigated task.

anxiety makes your head hollow

i wonder if the tears that flowed

came from my brain.

perhaps that is why they flowed faster.

gravity. 

or maybe

mother nature saw today

that i needed help

a release of some kind,

she came to help me.

poor woman

having to worry about me.

why must i always feel so terrible.

make others worry

concerned

make myself such a burden.

what did i do

to deserve this existence.

this sad,

sorry life

full of ugly.

no wonder death is romanticized.

it seems so perfect,

everything would just stop.

by o.p.


everyone just needs a break sometimes.
