But to Endure

The longer I walk,

The longer I travel,

The deeper I repress,

The more tired I become,

And my emotions,

Finally catch up with me.

 

Everywhere I look,

Rubbish is all I see,

Trash piled high,

With no energy,

To even know where,

Where a clean-up can begin.

 

Help, I know, is needed,

And progress was being made,

But due to current circumstances,

Help is nowhere to be seen,

And panic has finally set in.

 

Panic, of not knowing how,

How to move forward,

How to make progress,

How to stop this downward spiral.

 

I feel so isolated,

I feel so alone,

In the depths of my trash,

In the depths of my Darkness,

Where no light can be found.

 

Human contact is barely a thing,

People occasionally,

Pop up to say hello,

And recommend a meet up (socially distanced)

But little do they know,

The thought of social distancing,

More Panic, it does instil.

 

Currently, messaging is all,

All I am comfortable doing,

But rarely messages come,

With lately being lucky to,

To have a small conversation,

Every other day,

So with my isolation,

These small (but still apricated)

Infrequent messaging,

All this does is

 Is to Fan the fires of those flames.

 

Knowing how to cope,

How to come forward,

With things as they currently are,

I know not,

That same can be said of the Panic,

The panic which I must try,

Try to escape.

 

Upon reading this,

I know what people will say,

How they’re likely to respond,

To say im not alone,

And not to give in,

Whist these are well intentioned,

They further to Fanning the flames,

Flames of my emotions.

 

I need to find a way,

A way to endure,

Until the time is safe,

Safe enough to move forwards,

Safe enough to seek the help I need,

But until then,

I can but Endure.
