FallingA Poem by Kelley ContoDepression but fighting enemy and positive outlook
Falling
Deep down inside so confused feel trapped Body feels like crap Think you falling apart Just stab yourself with a dart But that’s not the answer And you definitely are not a dancer Family and others put you down So you can’t wear your favorite crown And try so hard to hide the frown Instead you act like a clown You feel like you don’t belong and feel so out of space But that’s not the case you just have to wake up and face Face the fear and the enemy of the lies Get up and fly Fight the current Don’t drown in the hurt So much shame, guilt, pain feel so lame Feel worhtless and no good Can’t even eat food Makes me feel ugly and disgusting Want to throw up so can be pretty and not frustrating The hurt has been buried for so long it’s so dark But this therapist is making a mark No more mask Instead taking a new task Crossed paths for reason This is just a season How do you believe the truth when so lost Hard to see when feel like there’s a punch or cost The end of the road is blurry You get on the ferry The water is calming But your body is bombing It feels like a roll coaster full of emotions And your going through so many commotions Not sure what’s real and what’s fake Can’t even turn oven on to bake You so disoriented and drowning Can’t fight the waves Not even brave You feel weak That your body even leaks You embrassed scared ashamed That you can’t even ask for help to make a claim. You want help but afraid of the result You feel like all your fault Trust is hard due to abandonment issues You cry so much go through a box of tissues You hide crying from others Due to its a bother You feel like a burden or lost cause You want to be invisible or make believe like Santa Clause Please help me understand and heal So I can get rid of this hard seal I want to see And be me I want to be free No more chains It hurts my brain My heart wants to be loved and accepted Not rejected No judgment Just comfort and excitement © 2023 Kelley ContoAuthor's Note
