Waging War
It is numbers, and comparing
coming up short, and failure
name calling, and bullying
Waging war
Broken, and torn apart
seams splitting open
Mended with trembling fingers
over and over again
Fighting and falling
It is the cold breath of your shadow
hissing in my ear
before the make up kiss
Always sorry, never again
Begging and bargaining
Pleading to live
Picking up what is left of myself
I stand

I believe in you Angela.
Keep fighting.
Beautifully written piece xxxx
Hi Angela, I just wanted to give you a few suggestions that could possibly help you. I went through a similar trauma when I was 18 and my psychiatrist has been giving me this medication called Prazosin. It is a blood pressure medication, but studies have shown that it can also help with nightmares. I take a very small dose, which doesn't really help me (my dr. is afraid to prescribe large doses because of possible suicide attempts) but it might be something worth looking into, as long as your blood pressure is fairly normal. You are such a sweet person and I really want things to start looking up for you ;)
Thanks for the info:) I don't really want to take anything else though. I'm on enough medication as it is.
i'm not always good at interpreting poetry. are you open to writing more about this? i only interpret through my own eyes, and wonder about your experience.
Thank you for following my log, I'm following yours too <3.
