Night Shift

MazaritaSenior Contributor

Night Shift

Since I am awake at 4am I thought I'd start this thread for those of us who have trouble sleeping and might find it helpful to have a place to go to chat. Whatever gets you through the night is alright.

To get the ball rolling, I'll just say that I enjoyed being part of the Topic Tuesday discussion tonight. I wish it was possible for these events to be weekly rather than monthly. Either way, thanks SANE and all the people I've met on here over recent months.

Edited June 2016 and February 2017: Night Shift is now open 24 hours a day. To join in, just click through to the last page of the thread at the top right of this post to get to the latest message.

Edited April 2017 and June 2017: For the sake of better communications between members here, I am adding that this thread is meant to be a caring, kind and gentle place of sharing. Humour is welcome, as long as its not unkindly directed towards other members. Hope your time in this chat thread is rewarding.

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Decadian, @PeppiPatty,

Thanks for thinking of the start day of this thread but it's a few months off a year old yet. Nevertheless, it's been made much more than I ever imagined by all of us. 🙂

I'll post the videos made with @PeppiPatty's poetry one at a time in the following two posts, hope they work this time...

(@eth, I think you have already seen one of the videos and some others probably saw them earlier)

Re: ra

Sorry all, Ive gotta get to beddy bye....

@Mazarita all in a good way...can you correct my wrongs on trying to show your fab. music and video on my poem? This is another poem....

My Face, My skin
Skin to Skin
I turn to you as you have a propensity for violence
I draw it out of you

I’m missing you

So Far away

Our repetitive dramas
Our Addictive sex

Give me a drama to imagine
A fantasy to keep me alive
Our acting out is a substitute for suicide

Push you away
Either way,
As long as you feel you live
