Sitting in my silence

The darkness within

By J.W. BairdPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Sitting in my sadness

Idle and unable to move

Lonely and depressed

Enduring a feeling of emptiness

Nothingness I am left with as I feel worthless

Consuming me until finally it ceases

Existence is all that is left

sad poetry

About the Creator

J.W. Baird

Who Am I?

I keep asking myself. I spent half of my life as a single mother. Pushing myself to be the strong independent individual that I have always been. My kids have grown and my life seems turned upside down.

I now search to find myself!
