darkness

shaking
sobbing
scared
trying to breathe
thru this pain and ugliness
new drug
new pain
new fears
new bruises from needles
beautiful sunny day
but my heart is gray and dark
birds are singing
and i can't hear their song
trying to let this be allright
not try to push myself
to deny this utter aloneness
and deep dark place...

You are in a deep dark place indeed. It's okay to feel those feelings. We are taught to stoically bear all that we are given. We are taught to make things be okay even when they aren't. Sometimes things are not okay. This is not okay. This sucks. This is scary. This is painful. I acknowledge your pain and darkness and honor your movement through it. If you don't feel the light right now that's okay. My hope for you is that the next step forward brings a ray of light with it.
