Falling


You stopping me falling,

Oh so deep,

No longer a mind mauling,

Within this mental keep.

 

Being with you,

All is ok, 

Being with you,

I no longer psychologically stray. 

 

Before all of this,

I struggled,

An emotional twist,

Completely boggled.

 

I see the dark doors,

From before,

Right there ready,

Let me fall.

 

Down, down,

Down I went,

All energy drained from me,

The lower I went.

 

Really no bottom,

To this falling,

Just a continual drowning,

Within all of me. 

 

Fight, fight,

Fight some more,

I knew what I had to do,

To release from the darkened jaw. 

 

Connect with someone,

Connect with you,

Connect the part I long forgot,

Connecting to see this through. 

 

Now I see that darkned hole,

Beside me,

Around for so long,

Think it will never leave me. 

 

But I know how to stop,

This engulfing feeling,

Just reach out to connect,

That part that comforts me. 

 

Bio:  Poem for my girl friend who is always there for me and preventing 

me sliding to this dark places. Enable me to live my life once again.

Like a lot of us been through shitty parts in my life. In 2018 I was living in London, attending a part time acting school. It was a great time. Also I was presenting at an event, one of the tutors at the acting school took me under his wing and mentored me. Part of that process he taught me how to write poetry, or at least express myself through it. Now, I write a poem every day, I write for a hobby. I've had a varied career, the only thing I can say is writing is the best things I've ever done. I absolutely love it. Have got 14 publications on a short story website and launching my own website in December 2022, http://www.PeterGreenhall.com Feel free to add any comments. I hope you enjoy reading my poems as much as I enjoyed putting them together.
