My heart sways like a pendulum
endlessly swinging back and forth
conflicting emotions at either end
tick
tock
joy
sorrow
Time passes, things change
but also stay the same.
~
A battle constantly waging
thoughts continuously at war
tick
tock
hope
despair
Time passes, things change
but also stay the same.
~
So weary of this struggle
the pendulum’s unending swing
forever existing just outside of the threshold of relief
tick
tock
light
darkness
Time passes, things change
but also stay the same.

I love this, Julie. You really know how to express what you’re feeling. I’ve been there, (sometimes still find myself there) so can feel it.

I think you should re-blog this poem, Julie. It’s so skillfully composed… I love the emotive flow AND the juxtaposition.
I absolutely love these lines:
“Time passes, things change
But also stay the same”
That IS so true.

Perhaps I will re-blog this one some day, maybe on a day when I’m feeling extra pendulum-ish. 😉 Thanks so much Noora, that means a lot, I’m so glad you liked it!
