Mentally lunging forward,
I constantly run in place.
So afraid of being stuck here,
yet too afraid to leave.
Tired of containting my thoughts,
but too tired to speak.
If I told you would you listen?
If I asked you would you help?
It's too easy to judge from your seat,
while my heads swirls out of control.
I want your help
but cannot surrender control.
I want more than this,
but I am afraid to say so.
Humor me,
if just for a second.
I want to feel safe.
I want to be needed.
Complete my sentence
that is always openended.

Poetry: Missing life

Mentally lunging forward,
I constantly run in place.
So afraid of being stuck here,
yet too afraid to leave.
Tired of containting
The sun and the blue sky
Reached out and embraced me
Insulating me from people and
Activities which surrounded me
Walking
Emptiness, void, no signs of life
Barren, space, unfulfilled, despair
Hopes raised every month
Dreams of a life still not there
by Jim Ross
When I was one going on twenty
I thought I knew it all
I couldn't see down the road of life
I couldn't see the pitfalls
Or where
