A Third Sigh

How I am feeling, over the past week.

There are times

Which I find myself

Wondering

Why bother.

As I climb out

From the razor-edged crater

Of the latest crisis

To explode upon me.

My body

A bleeding and mangled mess

Barely held together

By muscles and tendons.

Wanting to crawl

Into the nearest hole

And hide away.

Not caring

If I have healed

Totally.

Only seeking

To avoid future injuries

As the scar tissue grows

Ever thicker

Upon my body

And soul.

Where

A simple act becomes

Complex and burdensome

To accomplish.

Taking longer

And longer

Each time

To complete.

Becoming aware

Of the limited time

I have left.

There will be sighs on top of sighs on top of sighs. I just try to breathe and roll with the tide every single day. Not bothering is just not an option for me. Heartfelt words, Therisa. Angi~

Angi, I suffer from severe chronic depression, which medication doesn't alleviate, without many toxic side-effects for me. Many ways, the modern world is a toxic chemical that I have breathe in. The closer, I get to my goal, the more, my body deteriorates on me.
