The Shores of Alone

0 posted 2000-07-15 04:45 PM




I need to start again,
that much I know is true.
If not for outside pressures
I would know just what to do.

So many people need me,
but I want my own life back.
I give and give, it's not enough,
I fade from gray to black..

It's not that I don't want to help
the ones that need me so.
It's just that I deserve some love,
and I badly need to go.

How can I leave these babies,
my daughter's girls, my heart?
I want to leave so badly,
yet the thought tears me apart.

I'm being called to seek new paths,
but I want them by my side.
If not for lack of money,
there would be no need to cry.

If I would find a miracle,
then we could all break free.
They hate it here as much as I,
but the funding's up to me.

We live in a place of closed up minds,
no culture, emotionally dead.
We have loves on the other coast,
we wish we'd never fled.

Now I watch the days slip by
with unrepentant pain.
I fear that soon I'll be too old.
Too late for any gain.

My talent's wasted daily,
my love a constant loss.
If I stay here, there is no change.
It's such a loathsome cost.

Not sure what's in my future,
it could be just as bad.
But I can't go on lamenting
the chance I never had.

So someone send a miracle,
God or Goddess, please.
I need some guidance and some help-
I'm begging on my knees..

WOW!!! Now I could honestly feel your pain in this one.  Great job of expressing yourself girl!    I also use to ask for some guidence, yet I found it all in myself! You are the answer to your own questions.   Its a struggle, yes I know this.  But dig down deep and you shall see the answers.
Best of Luck!

Deep and endless night
You gave me everything you had
Ahhhhhh you gave me light

Oh Cat, what a dreadful situation! If I were you I would just take the risk. What have you got to lose? I feel so sorry for your daughter to have such a disgusting husband, BTW, can't she just leave him? Easier said than done, I suppose. I wish you all the luck in the world and hope you make the right decision. And your talent isn't wasted BTW, what about all the wonderful poems you share with us everyday?

Once upon a time there was a light in my life, now theres only love in the dark, There's nothing I can do, a total eclipse of the heart.

Cat..it will happen, when it's meant to happen.  It will all come together for you...something will come along to give you that guidance.  All in due time, my child, all in due time.  The poem was perfect.  Hardrock

~Oh Cat,...my heart is heavy reading this one.  
You sure you weren't writing this about me??? (hehe)...

"So many people need me,
but I want my own life back.
I give and give, it's not enough,
I fade from gray to black..

It's not that I don't want to help
the ones that need me so.
It's just that I deserve some love,
and I badly need to go".

~Needless to say,...I felt this poem in it's entirety, *sigh* so well done. Take care. *Peace.

Sandra,

I can feel this one too. How is it that most of us in Dark Passions share the same feelings and emotions? Your writings are so right, and so good. I am an avid learner from you.

Good Poem
