Im dead inside
       no more coming alive
    all out of tears to shead
        all out of dreams
      all out of hopes
   im lost in my ropes
    they tie me up
      no where to go
    no way to escape
im stuck in my web of lies
     im done trying
     why keep it up
   the saying "keep trying"
was only writen so we'd keep crying
they thrive on our pain
theres no way for it to go away

At this moment, you do not appear to be in a very good place in your life. One thing is for certain, if we throw in the towel, so to speak, things only get worse instead of better. Life is full of battles ~ and sweet victories!
Keep up the good fight! When you hit rock bottom, the only way out is up!

A very expressive and compelling read.

Take care!

Giving you a loving, compassionate hug,
EA

Will... I guess it leaves me wondering who 'they' are too... however it is a very good poem - I'm sending you a special hug just in case you need it    RDB

I have to go with Earth Angel's comments but just adding that "people in general" can be avoided.  I'm learning that if you allow yourself to be hurt then you/we/all of us are only giving away our power.  Some things have to be but it's only ourselves who make the "damage" worse.  Here's hoping for a better tomorrow.
