I’ve been here
Well…
Here and there
But mostly here
And I am tired
Monsters chase
Demons follow
Consistent bellows
From the gallows
Sheeted ghosts
Worn out
Torn holes
Becoming rips
Leaving me here
Trying to decide
If I should continue
Not just here
But there as well
Some days
I am the sheeted ghost
Hanging from the gallows
Hung by my own
Self worth
And there I rest
Because although
I am tired
Because although
I am worn out
I continue on
And I remain
Somehow
I’m right there with you! (Hugs) Somehow we just remain… don’t know how.

Eww, I like it very much! Well said.
I’ve been musing over the concept of gallows humor lately. I too share that white sheeted ghost feeling, with all the gloom and thick fog rolling in, but even then my own melancholy starts to seem a bit amusing and out of place, surreal and overly dramatic. I suppose being able to laugh at ones self is a good thing or else I’d be drifting in that fog far more than I already do.

I felt the exact same way writing this. I thought…its a bit mich dont you think hasty? And then i shrugged and thought…nope…i hate that its not even enough to describe the feelings that come along. I thought of robin williams and of countless others desperate enough and wondered how im still here….but i am…and i think i’ll hang in a bit longer.

“Hung by my own self worth”… it’s an anxious plight, to continue on when you don’t feel worthy. Always waiting for it to get easier. Love you girly! ❤
