Here are some poems i wrote awhile ago
they still feel very apropriate
enjoy
The Pit
Swirling black
Hungry
For me
Once I am in
There’s no going back
I reach out
But there’s no one there
To save me from myself
Strength to save myself
I am at a lack
But in this Pit there is light
Light I can feel
But can’t yet see
As I careen into this Pit
Falling like a stone
I find my reason
I find it and take it back
The Pit is my constant companion
Always at my side
Taunting and threatening
This ride I am on
Seems to never end
Yet somehow I arise again
To face the darkness
Looking for the light
Feeling it
Yet never seeing
But I will go on
And rise from the Pit like the Phoenix
From these ashes I will find the light
The Wrestling
Everyday I wrestle
I wrestle to be free
I cry out to be held
I wrestle with my feelings
On the days I have them
I try to be of help
I try to understand
I wrestle with the urge to die
I know that’s not the answer
The need to be a friend
And have one for myself
So many thing I struggle with
The least of these myself
Dragon
There is a raging Dragon
Deep inside of me
Scales are black and shiny
Eyes a silver green
It breathes fire when I’m angry
Burning the heart and soul
Until I feel nothing
Am nothing
Fangs are long and sharp
Tongue like a two edged sword
Its bite is deadly accurate
When it makes me act out
I am like a puppet
To this Dragon inside of me
I struggle to be free of it
I fight the daily battle
Try to kill it with my will
Alas my will is nothing
Compared to its hold on me
Then I come to realize
This Dragon I cannot slay
I can only set it free
This Dragon inside of me
Hungry
For me
Once I am in
There’s no going back
I reach out
But there’s no one there
To save me from myself
Strength to save myself
I am at a lack
But in this Pit there is light
Light I can feel
But can’t yet see
As I careen into this Pit
Falling like a stone
I find my reason
I find it and take it back
The Pit is my constant companion
Always at my side
Taunting and threatening
This ride I am on
Seems to never end
Yet somehow I arise again
To face the darkness
Looking for the light
Feeling it
Yet never seeing
But I will go on
And rise from the Pit like the Phoenix
From these ashes I will find the light
The Wrestling
Everyday I wrestle
I wrestle to be free
I cry out to be held
I wrestle with my feelings
On the days I have them
I try to be of help
I try to understand
I wrestle with the urge to die
I know that’s not the answer
The need to be a friend
And have one for myself
So many thing I struggle with
The least of these myself

There is a raging Dragon
Deep inside of me
Scales are black and shiny
Eyes a silver green
It breathes fire when I’m angry
Burning the heart and soul
Until I feel nothing

I struggle to be free of it
I fight the daily battle
Try to kill it with my will
Alas my will is nothing
Compared to its hold on me
Then I come to realize
This Dragon I cannot slay
I can only set it free
This Dragon inside of me
