Lost

Lost

In the silence of my abode
          The tv sounds
Make white noise

Breaking my every thought
       As I lay on my back
Staring up at the wall

Feeling empty
        Feeling lost
It's time to remove myself
           From this past

Every part of me
      Wants to give in
             And succumb
To the empty feeling that I'm in

Losing that special person in me
     I'm finding it hard to climb up
         and break free

Its liked I've pushed
  The OFF button inside
     With no where to release
        These emotions running high

I signed a CONTRACT to myself
     To avoid this phase
        And to get out

      Now I'm stuck again
         Losing my mind
And this void is on REWIND

Brilliant write, I absolutely love the structure of this poem. Gives the reader a sense of toppling over, falling deeper. Feeling lost is a sensation many of us can relate to in this piece, which you penned so beautiful. It is like a conversation to yourself. Which sometimes we need to do, in order to find some clarity 

Keep writing, you are talented x Hugs x

Hi Gwendoline. Thank you for those lovely comments and wonderful pin. To get that view from my layout of toppling over....I didn't even think about that but love what you thought. This one just came to me and wrote some months ago actually. Thanks so much, it really helps know what you think. I will keep writing! Pxxx

Hi Pratibha, I can well relate to this poem of yours. I think probably a lot of us can. You convey the feelings of personal gloom well. Hope this is purely creative but if not hang on in there and better days will come ⚘x

Hi Tina. It is purely creative. Don't know how this came to write now but did it some months ago. I don't write dark thoughts now but I did this and I know I still can. Thanks so much for liking it and love it when I see you on my post. Pxxx

Oooh this was a special write, I love the empasis on self awareness, knowing and understanding the state of mind your in and not succumbing to the emotions, be aware of them. 
I particularly liked the links back to tv with the last line Rewind and this stanza

Its liked I've pushed
  The OFF button inside
     With no where to release
        These emotions running high

Very relatable. Love the creativity here ☀❤☀

Hi Marion. Love seeing your comments on my post. Thank you for that incredible pin and comments. It's not my usual writes but I know now I can still write somber and dark still. In fact it was quite easy which I was surprised myself. I understand why this one might have resonated with you. Thank you so kindly for reading. Big hugs xxx

Yes!! Oh P, I love the analogy of white noise, I have used it before in my writes, sense of loneliness and eerie unrest it brings. How you have built this feeling throughout your poem is fabulous. Also love the bold and broken verse, its similar to Mairons Epic writing style yet so unique in structure. Loved every line... captivating stuff.

Thank you for liking my lost piece....I actually wrote it in May 2020!!...the bold text floating around has become my style....I first did it on my poem Soulful Hell. Its so lovely to read your comments. Have a great day! Px

Sad and melancholy beautifully well written and for all the right poetic reasons.
It reads as if one is balanced on a knife edge over a high cliff and dare not lose balance for the fall will spell doom and disaster,  a great analogy of a theme expressed and darkly displayed.
And I guess people love reading the dark ones for they make them feel truly alive.
A great and at all times most breath-taking write Pratibha and full deserving poetry honours bestowed my friend.
