I Would Pray

The birds chirped.
Once again contentment washed over me,
Like a lullaby of silence sheltering this fragile vulnerability.

Oh, how I yearn to feel...
this feeling for one brief moment more,
One moment more and I'd pray.
I'd pray it never ceases
I'd pray and I'd beg the light to choose me.
And in that clarity I won't get tangled up,
I won't lose my mind, I won't break apart
One last time and I'll stand on solid ground,
I'll cradle every scar, every shame just so I won't bleed into the throes of madness
Beneath the weight of my crushing insanity,
Then soulfully, I'll breathe
Beyond the suffocating grip of existence that chokes me.

A raw and honest train of thought. Once one's felt peace and near perfection, it is so hard to lose it and survive. Many have thought similarly but - differently.

So many feelings here, seemingly agony that needs a salve, a wrap, help from a person who would never think of harming someone else.

Yes, this sums it up oh so well:

'One last time and I'll stand on solid ground,
I'll cradle every scar, every shame just so I won't bleed into the throes of madness
Beneath the weight of my crushing insanity,
Then soulfully, I'll breathe
Beyond the suffocating grip of existence that chokes me.'

Your words suggest fragility, please, please take care.

When I read words like yours, I try to imagine inner feelings, fears and more. Why the poem or story, why such deep emotions? Take great care of yourself.. PLEASE

As one might say, "feeling too much is both a blessing and a curse" This sensitivity can be overwhelming

[seren]

However, i would love to embrace this sensitivity and feel as deeply as i can, for as long as i can

[seren]

For me - at least as an aspiring writer, it is better feel more than to feel nothing at all ❤
