I thought going to church again and being in God’s “presence” would bring me relief or at least break the dam so I could express this intense sadness by crying like it used to…
Nothing.
What’s the point if I can’t even get comfort from God anymore? What’s left to fight for, to hope for?
I felt drawn to visit the river. Maybe it’d be a good place to cry… But now it just feels like I’m dancing with the devil.
The thought of jumping in and letting the cold water carry me away seems so **** tempting.
And it scares me so much.
I should get up and walk back up the hill, but my limbs feel both powerless and not mine.
**** depression. **** sadness and pain. **** the tears that won’t fall. **** death and **** living.
I shouldn’t have come. I shouldn’t be here.
A flash piece I wrote for my creative writing class last month that felt more like a prose poetry type thing.
