that bodyless sensation
upon me again
a wave of unease
washing over me
drowning me whole in my anguish
at a beach full of poeple
soaking up the sun
shaking their heads in sync
to the echoing sounds of my cries
leaving me to fend off my demons
all on my own
at sundown they notice my spirit
washed up on the shore
push it back out to the infinite sea
waving goodbye
going back to lounge out their days
while the suns of others set before them
never to go up again.
Sticky Situation 
Utterly breathtaking.

The metaphor runs deep in this poem. 🙂 How people have pushes the spirit back to the sea, alone amidst the demons only to find “while the suns of others set before them / never to go up again.” Loved your words. 🙂 🙂 🙂

More power to your pen, girl. 🙂

Comments like this make me so happy because it means that I am actually reaching or evoking some feelings in people. It’s a wonderful feeling knowing that other people can relate to what I write about (In a way, I write as a form of “therapy”. Poetry in particular is a great way for me to process and move on from my emotions)
