if I cover my eyes you can't see me

So I haven't told you yet
I'm falling apart again.
Not a major evisceration
mind you, so don't panic.
I haven't hit defcon 4.
Not in the red yet.
But the idiot lights are going off.
I think I've got my desperation well hidden
it shouldn't make the major news.
Just a few pieces falling off is all.
"beat my dead horse"
is functioning intermittently
nowadays.
I've seen cracks in the
"I'll take whatever scraps you have
just to have something" case.
My "shut up and just take it" pile
is almost empty.
OH yeah,
the "take a chance" feature
fell off too.

I'm looking for it now.

I can relate to this very much. I've been feeling this sort of way lately. It's hard to put it into words, but somehow you've managed to do just that.

Even a rock can sometimes shed a few pebbles once in a while !

I really enjoyed this, I have been there once or six times, but you did a great writing of loosing your mind and I really enjoyed reading it, it made me smile and then use my mind to think which I enjoy that when it comes to writes. You did a very good job, I wish I could write like you
