dose goes up
nerves dance a
jitterbug
feeling things more
through a static of
bloodrush
living with fear but
doing it anyway
.....
Edit: @PeppiPatty, I was writing that poem just then, when you posted, so missed you, hehe. I'd love to read more of your poetry. Are you doing any of that kind of writing these days?

I hope I'm not intruding @Silenus
It's 3:30am and I'm in the mood for writing. I too enjoy the written word to out my internal stirrings. I used to journal, though I haven't touched those pages for quite a long time, preferring to dabble on-line instead.
The Lifeline consultant I spoke with earlier helped to identify what ails me; loss of friendships and its grief.
I've been avoiding these feelings of unrest, which in turn creates volcano rumblings. It's been a few months of plodding the house, drinking copious amounts of coffee, getting up late, going to bed late and staring at my untidy kitchen as I pass by in disgust.
I am alone.
By choice? Yes. Better to be in solitude than with deceivers and back slashers. The scars are many and often have had salt rubbed in their rawness before healing could begin.
I can't fathom how easy it is for some to lie and distant themselves from the truth. In all honesty though, I've been lying to myself. I avoid 'me'. Maybe they're just reflecting how I've been towards myself.
Do I push people away? Hmm.. it's possible, even probable if I'm truthful. I needed to write that.
Good therapy session. 🙂 Thanks..
Hope

the traffic and the sea
intertwine their sounds
a fruit bat screech
in another register
computer hums its music
while I whisper these words
only one awake here
again in the night.
