Keep Chasing

My project to keep my brain functioning so I don't think about my illness. Not sure what it's about. I made it all up as I went.

Written in iambic tetrameter. I put it in a quote so the spacing things I did would work, like in the Word Document. Yes, I just now discovered this.

I really want to laugh right now

But, god, the tears- they will not stop

Maybe I should go get some sleep

I don't have a reason to cry

I guess it makes time go faster

Whatever the case, I don't care

Somehow, right now, I am happy

It is so nice to have silence

So loud

          So LOUD

                        God, it's so loud...

I want to laugh at all of them

Those foolish people that I see

They scream

                  They cry

                                They whine so much

I find it sort of amusing

In one way they are just like me

I want something that I won't have

To stop my crying and just sleep

To fade away from everyone

Like a Torch... I envy them so

It is too bad that they aren't real

But I can still remain hopeful

It's like a dream that won't come true

Chasing after these stupid hopes

They will never be real, but I...

God, how I want to disappear

To sleep and never awaken

To keep on chasing the silence

To a time when I was happy

To when I can laugh at myself

To when I can just talk to me

Myself

          Alone

                  No one

                              But me

I don't think I would go crazy

Because I am there to listen

In my wonderful bliss I made

All in my head but not hidden

In a place only I can see

Yes...

        I suppose that is enough

My quiet and my peaceful place...

That is all I can really ask

I don't want any more...

                                  No more

Here's another one. I got the inspiration from it after reading a bloggish-thing someone wrote about their "hero" breaking down from stress and anxiety.

I took things a little farther.

My hero has fallen

And become an empty husk

Her grace, integrity, her strength

Broken and shattered


I’m part of the background

A blur in the scene

I feel so utterly useless

As I watch her collapse

I was too late

Too stupid

Too oblivious to know

Her problems were caused

By the things I fear most


I knew from the start

But I didn’t speak up

We were once the same

And I was too blind to notice

I wish I could go back

And warn her of the danger

I want to prevent this

I have to change this


But it’s far too late

And I was mute and careless

I wish it had been me

The one to break

I wanted to tell her

How much she meant

To me, to them, to everyone then


She’ll never know

And it’s past her time

She has broken to pieces

My hero has died

I would love to say

All of the fault rests with me

And continue about how

It was all my doing


I didn’t say a thing

And the moments ticked by

But I didn’t make the decision

That my hero would die

I may have my own faults

But my hero had hers

I couldn’t control her

And she made her choice


I did what I could

And I said what I must

But in the end it

Was all up to her

So now I stand here

A figment in the background

Because she made her decision

And took on the risk


I would love to say

My hero is fine

But she took that risk

And she didn’t survive

THOSE ARE SO GOOD!

They made me a little depressed though. But that just means they're well written.

Good job! You're so much better then me.
