Living the best day
One of the worst
On top of the world
I am in hell
Every game won
All is lost
Motives powerful
Drowning in weakness
Soaring, flying high above
Falling to the ground
Under bright sunshine
Hiding in darkness
Being what you wanted
You don’t want me
Walking the living earth
Buried beneath
Love all around me
Abandoned and alone
I found this last night in my poetry stash… I don’t remember when I wrote it… or why I rejected it…

About what sandra thinks
Sandra is a writer, sometimes blogger, poet, artist, emotional disaster. She thinks far too much and sleeps far too little. Sandra lives in the Northeastern U.S. but dreams of an oceanfront home in Italy, but she would settle for a non-oceanfront home in Italy. She loves books, brutal honesty, coffee, and the color black. She hates insincerity, beer, whipped cream, and facebook. And she is uncomfortable talking about herself in the third person.

There’s a lot of power in these words. Wonder what you were going through when your write this? Great work.

Thank you, love. Oh, I’ve been in and out of hell lately. More in… trying to get out! I think maybe this is my brain looking for “good” but “bad” keeps trying to kill it.

I completely get that feeling. One of my favorite quotes by Hemingway is, “The world breaks everyone then some become strong at the broken places”
Keep swimming, lovely.

That is a perfect expression of feeling like hell and wanting out but not being able to grasp the way. Helplessness, frustration, despair… Managing a positive and then having it crash down again.

Thank you. Oh but it makes me feel weak that the crash always comes…

No, you shouldn’t feel weak. False highs aren’t sustainable. The ever elusive solution is to find not a high but actual contentment/happiness. I’ll let you know if I figure that out…

Good. I wanna move to Hawaii. And convince young surfers they prefer older women.

This is fantastic. It’s exhausting feeling like that, the yo yo effect and/or putting on a brave face. Ugh!

Thanks so much. I’ve been using the same thing to try to forget the bad of late… No, not drugs and/or alcohol…. Near constant games of Trouble with my kids.

Trouble, huh? That’s a decent distraction. I used to go the other route. 😕

No shit! It was routinely mailed in those days, wrapped in coffee grounds of course. Nah, don’t think I’d risk mailing any now. Got too much to lose now. Didn’t even think twice about then though. 😃

Some days (weeks? Months?) are perpetual contradictions. This wonderfully expresses those feelings; the struggle to find balance.

I sometimes think that the up and down is worse than if it were all down. At least you wouldn’t be wondering how things were gonna go today. Never knowing how to feel or what’s coming next, it’s like a constant game of wtf is wrong with me? Very relatable. As you can tell, I’ve had a bad day, lol.

I’m sure this makes others question my sanity (and I question it all the time…), but I usually do wake up wondering what kind of day it will be. It seems I never know what I’m going to get. Today, I was having a decent day… and then someone (who I may or may not be married to… lol) totally pissed me off. Grr. I hope you have a better night… and better day tomorrow!
