The Battle of Sad

Posted on May 22, 2021May 22, 2021 by thosegilligans_bm456c

I’m here 

It’s a pattern I see 

Where I seek out a soul I can call family

Again

Where I start questioning whom I call friends

Conclusions all seem to be the same in the end.

Loneliness, a feeling I know too well

 Pinned by the thoughts 

Caught

And maybe I’m not even trying anymore; to escape

The comfort of this pain 

Lowers the expectations,

 so I remain

Misunderstood, and that’s okay

Maybe one day I won’t have to explain

How I got to this place

The shadows I’ve embraced

who will look me in the face.

I laugh at my thoughts of suicide

I’d be damned if they see me cry, 

Not that it’s weak, I just don’t have the time

These children of mine

They need to see me fine

So I draw over that Broken smile that they love so much

Keep it tough

 Because complacent isn’t enough

Maybe it could be better if I disappeared

But that’s not what people wanna hear

I’m trying to be thankful, God has blessed me alot

It’s not fair if against that I fought

Blood and water are all the same, life has taught

Down the drain it swirls, leaving my stomach in knots

I can’t hold on, and drowning in silence is what I rather. 

The only one who hears me, my Heavenly Father. 

So I cry up at the night sky out of the mud and mire

Am I forgotten on the side like a run away tire?

Confidence a mask, so now I’m the biggest liar

Laid up at the cemetery drive

 Here I measure how much I am alive

Consciously trading places with the ones who once died

For just a minute I’ll gaze up at the sky

Waving hi to the visitors who couldn’t bother when I was awake

Make note that the love I possess was never fake

So though I’ll stay,

Here brokenness and dead dreams are left behind

With a piece of art unsigned

Reiterating that I’ll be fine

This piece was put together as i felt myself battling the big sad today. Rejection isn’t an easy enemy and i was on the lines. Writing and music my only coping skill at times, I was unsure whether to post, but this blog is ours to do as we wish. So i share this not as a way to gain pity or even down anyone, but just to put words to a battle that not only i face on a daily. I believe we aren’t truly alone, but i believe there are many that may feel physically alone and must handle that battle on a daily. Questioning purpose and worth due to rejection from those you cherished dearly but I promise, you’re special, I think that’s what many don’t see. And that’s okay. A message i read on a tree alittle while ago during a hike that ive been kind of holding onto…. “WE WILL SURVIVE” and we will. I AM.

    Foreign student trauma: When I first moved from Lithuania to America I was 5 years old and didn’t speak any English. On the first day of kindergarten I was crying so much that my teacher picked me up and let me sit on her lap, meanwhile the rest of the kids sat on the carpet in front of me and watched me cry while she explained to them what was going on (in a language I didn’t understand). Our school was 3 buildings put together, and the pick up was at the “blue” building but my classroom was at the “red” building, so they put a sign over my neck that said “I don’t speak English and I’m going to the blue building” and sent me away to follow a crowd of other kids. I’m still traumatized.

      We’re so sorry to hear about how that experience effected you. I can imagine many ways they could have handled that incident. A church I’ve attended puts name tags on the back of each child. I feel on the fence with it. I don’t like the thought of other people being able to call out to my children, knowing their name; but on a deeper level, though we are a group, we are still individuals with our own names, personalities, characteristics, experiences, pains, flaws… The works. So that piece of paper not only helps the staff know whom they are speaking to and or what they are dealing with, it reminds me That outside of our brand we are our own persons. Sometimes Kristina can fall short in what we stand for (more times than I’d like to post) If you’d like we can talk more about how this affected you, but til then, thank you so much for the bravery in sharing some of you with us.
      Much appreciation and love from
