tonight loneliness hits me
kicks me in the teeth
pushes me down the stairs
and continues to pummel me
on every level
until there is nothing left
just bruised
battered
and bloodied
looking for anything
anyone
to help me out
before i decide to stay down
and never get back up
ever again.

“just bruised

Makes me think of the Alkaline Trio song Bloodied Up. Anyway, great writing as usual. Though I abhor this feeling as much as you do.
“pushes me down the stairs

still great. good to see you writing.
powerful work, my friend. i’m in the exact same boat right now. drinking and no energy to do anything else.
Wow … ok, I don’t know if this is how you feel now or how you felt some time ago or if you really feel this way at all, but if you ever want to talk, I am all ears …. er, fingers …
Nice work.
@KevinRichardWhite - amen to that. i was just rereading your book the other day. damn fine writing my friend. take care. in the meantime, i’ll have a drink for ya. whiskey or beer. hmmmm….or both.
@Writing_the_Tides - lol. thanks. it is how i feel but…not much else to do or say. just gotta keep going. it’s complicated. thanks for the words of encouragement. and for stopping by.
@alltimelow22 - great to hear from ya. i hope all is well on your end.
Very deep, everyone feels like this at some point in their lives, some more than others. When I feel down I listen to great music, the Beatles and Bob Marley always cherr me up
completely understandable…i’v been beaten down these past few days as well… trying to find that one single piece of something that i can cling to,to stay afloat…
as always…. simplistic to the point of depth… that is your perfection within your writing…
