Desperate, scratch that
Regulating feelings without screaming

Getting high to escape the lows
that my feelings will not let go
holding their grasp tight
around the clasp of my neck
as I'm gasping
searching for air
no longer there.
Hair tied,
pulled to the sides
oh
where has my sanity flown?
High up in the sky
I see it
no longer in my eyes.
Misery does not want company,
just the silent cries.

Whether it loves company or no, I nevertheless thank misery for sharing this moment! Life is more than one feeling all the time, and if we learn to accept all rather than pursue only that which we desire, we find more than we could ever have dreamed! A dream within a dream indeed... If you've never read "Solitude" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox, I strongly recommend. You may at the least have heard the opening lines: "Laugh, and the world laughs with you; Weep, and you weep alone..."
Some days I feel like this. explained very well
Love the last two lines brilliant 😊😊
