When I'm In Over My Head

Everyone’s process is different, they say.
I don’t want this taking any more of my time.
I’m lost standing here, forever stuck in one place,
like - I’m a victim of some random crime.
*
What do I do, do you know what to do?
Should I be crying or angry as hell?
Packing up boxes and putting this away,
out of sight - nice and neat on a shelf?
*
I want to convince myself - it was only a dream,
some nightmares that are still in my head.
Roll over and get moving - get on with the day,
wake up - and get out of this bed.
*
But that’s not reality, none of its true -
I’m here, I’m still standing, motionless, here.
Waiting for the right mindset I need,
that make the next steps I have to take, clear
*
I’m shutting down and we’re both feeling stupid,
watching it play out - like some movie scene.
And I know - I just keep pushing away,
any chance you could still come save me.
*
So, if you really want to know, how to help me,
I know it’s intimidating. holding your peace.
Don’t try to fix me or make it alright
Just simply show up, and be

Great flow with lots of emotion. Well done.
The song “Send in the Clowns” in a rap remix floats in my head. Great poem Kelli. 🥰
