Leaking - Day 58
I’m leaking
Energy, power, force, source
Steadily seeping through my cracked soul
As I desperately try to refuel
And delay the inevitable
Quick fixes don’t fix
I need a permanent cure
I’m leaking
Anguish, grief, unrest, distress
Bubble over like a boiling cauldron
As seizures grip my body
And shake me to the core
Quick fixes don’t fix
I need the antidote
I’m leaking
Tumultuous turmoil, fiery rage
Erupt abruptly with no warning
Burning the innocents
Who walk in my path
Quick fixes don’t fix
I need the extinguisher
I’m leaking
Sorrowful suffering, aching woe
Push through to the physical
Overflow through the windows of my soul
But the pressure still builds
Quick fixes don’t fix
I need release
I’m leaking
So I’ll widen the crack
And let flow what will flow
Energy, poison, lava or tears
So healing can start
Quick fixes don’t fix
I need time

emotional words which reflect the condition of the human soul. well written, dear
Charming and with contagious rhythm your poem of today, dear @firstsetps. Although it refers to a traumatic episode in the soul, it is felt that there is desire to overcome, desire to leave behind what crushes, unrest, deteriorates ... Desire to heal.
The wise tell us that time is the cure for sorrow. But when we have the sorrow, we see that time stops and we perceive that the sorrow increases. Then we thought, I want to sleep and when I wake up, nothing happened. Momentary illusion that oppresses our heart with more force.
In the end, time helps us to mitigate the sorrow.
