Momentary Lapse

Distracted.
Every second.
Trying to focus,
but too impacted.
Mind zooming, body tensing.
Remembering and guessing.
Questions from regret. Inside torment.
But no need to get upset?
It's all through now, the worst is over.
Only up from where I am. A mover.
Forward now.

About the Author

Country/Region: U.S.

Favorite Poets: All of Edgar Allen Poe's writings are amazing to me, I could reread them over and over again. My second favorite isn't well known in the community and only has one published poem, but that person would be my fiance, who is an excellent unknown poet.

I can relate...

Fortunately, I am better now, but I have had times that were bad. I understand that there are people out there that are a lot worse than I ever was. I feel bad for them; knowing the torment. I hope that you have a good experience here. I think that Neopoet has given me a lot of confidence. I am a long time member and have learned a lot about poetry and relating to others. Sometimes, when people ask me how I am doing? I say; " It's all up from here." I see by your profile picture that you have a dog. Shepard or Shepard mix? My favorite dog, although I love all dogs! Please stop by my Saturday night chat room
every other week. It's called Chat on the Dark Side. I think that you will fit right in here at Neopoet. Welcome and kick back and relax! ~ Geezer.
