Behindhand

I am aware that this could be quite a controversial upload, yet I feel as this MAY connect to some of you guys, it would be worth uploading. This was just a late night write of mine when I was going through a stage of depression in my life. Feedback, as always, will be appreciated. Please be kind. 

The flower in my graveyard 

Blooming like the wounds on my delicate soul 

Wilting like your love for what once was your sunshine

The colour in my kaleidoscope 

Dancing in the darkness of my thoughts

Shifting like your patience for your desire of something new

The waves in my ocean

Lapping in the strength to go on in this brutally beautiful world

Taking with you the pain in exchange for the fear of solitude 

Don't let the river of cortisol flow 

Don't let me 

Don't let me go

Before the rope's too tight

Before the pills kick in

Before the water covers every inch of my scarred up skin

But nature is a process you said

And it was all too late.

Hi Hannah,

On Cosmo, we have "freedom of speech".  You need not to preface such beautiful, heartfelt words with an apology.  Your poetry is deep and thought provocative.  Please give us more.  Welcome to Cosmo.  Your presence is greatly appreciated.

Peace and Love,

Thankyou so much Larry. The preface was an act of my consciousness as I did not want to be the beginning of any conflict. Your words are so kind and helpful.  Peace x

Hannah...this is a beautiful piece of work. Honest and without any sense of false bravado. As somebody who suffers from vicious bouts of depression, I can honestly tell you that every word you wrote here made complete and utter sense to me on a painfully intrinsic level. Always allow yourself to experience these emotions, regardless of how controversial you feel they may be, because these emotions are what allow for the birth of some of the most mind-blowingly beautiful work, like this one of yours, for example. And furthermore, writing is the outlet for people like us that allows these blackened mindsets to leave us, even if only for a while. You are a greatly talented writer, and I look forward to more of this artistry from you. :)
