Re: Sleeping too much
If you were in the flesh
I'd ask you to come
Share a smile & a drink
Stop me feeling so numb
Surrounded by things
Lost in my cave
Nobody calls
or takes me away
Without face to face
It feels like a game
Exchanging mere words
Just isn't the same
So drifting away
the mind & soul
leave an empty shell
that will never be whole
~ Tawney (today)

Re: Sleeping too much
Beautiful poetry @Former-Member .... but please don't be so sad .....
You are still in recovery, and although there is a distance between us all here, and a veil of anonymity, we are very real as people.
You are stepping out again in a way you haven't been able to for some time, as you have noticed at times yourself, and if you could see how far you have come in these last few months, I think you would surprise yourself somewhat .... I have noticed, for sure ....
Socialising here you are stretching muscles you haven't used for some time, and sharpening that gorgeous witty humour of yours .... as your self-confidence returns and you find you can sing again, your wings will regain strength an you will fly again @Former-Member.
Others will draw closer to you, step by step, as you reach out more and more comfortably. Do you remember the first day you realised you could go to the shop and chat about the weather, and people around you didn't need to know your whole story to be able to appreciate sharing the moment with you ?
You are growing. We are sustaining or growing along with you, each of
us in our own circumstances .... remember the old "school of the air" for isolated education ? I'm sure it's all done on computers now .... but we can be pen-friends in the new style .....
Take courage @Former-Member. There is a season for everything under heaven ...
❤💕

Re: Sleeping too much
Thanks F&H, you're precious. And wuick off the mark. Thought you'd be flat out with family & all. A 21st or so... Thought maybe my Owl might intimidate people. Looking for something brighter. Having trouble finding words. I feel like a ghost & just wanna finish the job. Scarces me, being on the edge of disassociating, drifting, floating away, and my heart aches a lot. Heavy like a stone.
What are you doing tonight?

Re: Sleeping too much
That's so beautiful and so sad @Former-Member
But also so good that you reveal this part of yourself - I realise that in the anonymity of this forum there is so much I don't know about people - and I know what I don't say about myself
So poetry is a way we can open that door, draw aside the curtain - shine a light on the scene - and see deeper within to the truth
It touches me deeply that the empty shell - the mind and soul gone - drifted away - I see a shell on the beach - a beautiful shell - and the life within has left
But where is it? What happened to it? Where did it go?
Maybe to a wonderful place - a far better place - that happens to all of us. The memories we leave for people who love us - even the on-line us who exists only in the perception of words - and this is what we can see now - this is the shell.
For me the heart and soul I perceive are beautiful @Former-Member
That is a truly wonderful piece of poetry - and I am qualified to say so - but I am so sad you feel so numb
I don't - I am tired - yes - but for me the edges of the world are very sharp - can it be otherwise?
If we were to share a smile and a drink - would you feel more? Would I feel less

Re: Sleeping too much
Whend the adrenolin kicks in with the ideology, thats when it get hard to fight. Oh boy, might have to ring lifeline, if i can talk, haven't talked to anyone a while. Just holding down the anxiety over the thoughts. Anybody else get this? Know you do Teej. It passes, soon I hope.

Re: Sleeping too much
Thanks Decadian, don't like reaching out, it seems so defeating, but I am tonight. And thank you for helping pull heart & soul back to earth. I fear they will soon be lost, no real ankor. Sorry, there I go again. Trying to o leave it to God, just hard. Sorry if I woke you.

Re: Sleeping too much
Keep chatting here and we will keep chatting back @Former-Member .... you're precious to us .... in this short time it has become so ....
That tells you there's something inside the shell .... cos we don't see the shell ... we see you ....
I'm helping to prepare costumes for tomorrow night, fancy dress, cos even teens and twenty-something's need a bit if anonymity sometimes .... they can relax and muck around better with some disguise and props .... and music and other distractions ....
Make the call if you need to Tawney-girl, but we are here too ....
❤💕
