tears fall,
but go unheeded
voices heard,
but none are needed
hope lies in wait
around the bend
can't make it there,
is this the end?
trying hard,
struggling free
stuck in last place.
why always me?



 MAY THE ROAD RISE TO MEET YOU,
MAY THE WIND BE ALWAYS AT YOUR BACK
MAY THE SUN SHINE UPON YOUR FACE
THE RAINS FALL SOFT UPON YOUR FIELDS
AND, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN,
MAY GOD HOLD YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND

Irish Blessing

Great message in a neat package here.   I enjoyed it because I often write in the same way.

You'll get round that bend and down the straight to the finish line too Angel.

 May your roof never fall in and those beneath it never fall out.

I know what you mean here Angel!  Most of the time I feel I will never reach around the bend and see a ray of hope or understanding.  It kills me slowly in around the heart area too.  Be Strong!  We who write about it are, you know!!  Thanks for all your comments by the way!  ~~Jamie
     


 "I keep breaking all the promises
That I keep making to myself
You'd think by now that I'd be over this
Instead I'm feeling sorry for myself
So why does everything seem desperate now?
I should be feeling so alive
But it feels like something's missing
Something's wrong somehow
It feels like something deep inside has died..."

I think that life is like a mountain range, many ups and downs forming our existence. You'll get around that bend...don't give up.
Your poem expresses the valley of despair rather beautifully. Thanks for sharing this.

Love and hugs,
Lizzie

An easy to read well written poem Nicole although a trifle sad.

It's not really the end.
Just look round the bend
There is no last place
Life's not really a race.

 To oppose you is to deny the heart of friendship... To join you is to deny the heart of humanity. I am the earth... the fire... you are the sea and wind. Should we together be god? Or apart be nemesis...
