timmy's poetry - 25. Do It

I grip the mirror and resist shaking it

But I don’t recognize the face there

The body

The refection is handsome, me

But inside there is nothing, zero

Only blackness

I cannot write, cannot be still

My centre is gone and lost

I’m mislaid

Instincts say to scuttle and run

Don’t look into the face of others

I’m blank

Take your happy pills and smile

Ban sensation, don’t feel

Not hurting

No never again, no more

Find your courage, boy

Do it

I sincerely hope you can do both. Find a center and feel. But if you need to, close the lid for a moment. Don't spread yourself too thin and burn out. 

thanks Pupp xo

I see the face of courage in your mirror. I see the body of one who cares. You tell us of a distance and numbness in this, and I sense that, too. But your poem tells out that you are still yourself, the one who is loved. 

thanks Parker, love you too xo

tim, life called you ugly, and stupid, and pathetic, and a failure, for so long that you’ve forgotten that it’s wrong.  it is. you are and always will be that poet with the beautiful soul that i met on my journey through life. love, hugs and peace. moggy

thank you moggy.. for your beautiful words.. they mean a lot to me.. xoxxo
