Mumblings of a Muddled Mind

I like to write about what matters to me and to raise awareness for mental health. I suffer from mental illness but that does not define who I am.

Something I wrote a while ago...

Innocence Lost

downward
my heart goes
falling
it feels low
onward
I can't see
stuck
oh pity me

when I was young
the world so bright
so full of things
to my delight

forever
it seems too far
now
I want more
hopeless
this heart of mine
secluded
in my own mind

when I was young
the world so bright
so full of things
to my delight

treasure
the times with you
nostalgic
of skies so blue
innocence
where have you gone
empty
where do I belong?

when I was young
the world so bright
so full of things
to my delight

  1. It's amazing how different things look as we get a bit older and well, jaded. How do we focus on seeing those bright things again? It'll keep us from becoming zombies.

  2. I get little bursts of that feeling every now and then. I wish I could hone it and keep it going longer. Like when the world was fresh and new and you didn't know things could hurt so bad. If I figure out a way to find it again perrmantently, I'll let you know!
