The point of no return

~ ~M

I think we all reach a point
A place of exhaustion
A time of misunderstanding
A feeling of not being heard
The scrapping of knees on concrete
Life becomes too much to bear
So we alter our direction
Scrambling for the door
The one we hope leads to peace
I think I’m at that point
And I’m not looking back
I need to find some place
That takes me far away
Miles from this point of discontent
This place of unworthiness
This time of hurting
This feeling of hopelessness
I can’t keep bleeding
for the rest of my life
At some point
it all has to end

  10. I hope you find the peace you need in a quiet place of serenity close by, nestled near your heartbeat. Soon. I’ve felt the frustration and pain you so beautiful expressed, it resonates. I’m on the other side of the door at the moment, hopefully I can stay here

    1. Thank you, Kate ❤️ And I’m so glad you’re on the other side of all that at the moment. We come n go back n forth but I guess in the long run that’s what makes us appreciate things more.

      1. Perspective and distance for sure. In the middle of the hard places it is just one foot after another – keep going, sending you love ❤️ and yes there are always ups and downs – like a cardiogram – I guess that’s how we know we’re alive
