tim's Bits and Pieces - 11. Tethers

No need to feel sorry, tim. Writing when your emotions are all roller-coasting is a hard feat to accomplish.

The poems you presented here are well-written and do envoke different emotions. Masterly crafted.

Writing where you are can put some perspective to your feelings. And maybe help sort things out. Both are good things. Your poems are well written and thought provoking. Thank you for sharing them. I am hoping you are going to find a better place soon. Hugs to you my friend.

None of the like responses really fit. Know I read and felt your words.

You’re right that these are not easy to read, but @Reader1810  is right. Your poetry is excellent. These are compelling words of passion and hurt. I hold you in my heart. 

thanks Parker... love you too xo

Well in that case i will go back and like it anyway!

All poems are terrifyingly intense. But except for number 3 (which seems to address a very unpleasant and aloof woman you encountered), they speak of the fears that lie hidden in every human being and come to the surface in various forms; some poeple try to bury and ignore them, others reflect on them from time to time, but they are there for sure. Only they erupt and feel so all-encompassing in these poems; it's frightening to read your words but it would be wrong not to read them (or for you not to write them down) out of fear.

"No one cares to remember for long" you write, and it would be a lie to say that's never true - but it's also true that in our thoughts we (even involuntarily) recognize what's precious to us and yes, many people care to remember for as long as they live because that's also what life is about.

I hope you can let yourself be embraced by some equanimity and lean on your husband.

And I have to admit I find it hard to communicate here - now that I'm reading what I've written I'm not sure if it's adequate but anyway, your poems are always stirring up my thoughts.

My life feels so long...too long. I am tired...there is no joy or hope in it. Only talk and drugs...i look but i cant see it.

I suppose I have a vague idea what you're saying although I don't want to be so shallow as to just write that I understand what you're going through.

It's hard to carry some memories with you, that much I know, and one can't just bury them but one has to live with them - and it does get better with time. But then, there are still feelings that cannot be controlled (at least not all the time) and it requires much strength to live with them.

I'm so sorry to read that obviously the drugs you have to take contribute to this.

I've always found it horrible to feel alone and I can only tell you that you're absolutely not alone (I know it won't help much but nevertheless).

And whatever you feel, you are still loved.

Feel deeply hugged xoxo
