It's 3am and here I am Sitting here without a plan This lack of sleep type R.E.M. Leaves me whispering in the dark again Tears a rolling down my cheeks I haven't felt this way in weeks Depression shows its ugly maw I'm caught firmly in its claw Can't seem to find my self or path Stuck here in the aftermath Of love gone wrong, that wasn't kind I'm left feeling… deaf and blind What happened here I cannot say But I can't keep the pain at bay Howl and rage against the night Shiver here in silent fright It's 3am and here I cry Wishing I could merely die Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |

Ohhhhhhh Kethry!!!!! I could say life gets better... but hey!! I am still working on mine also. Your poem left me questioning my own life and thoughts. It was so sad and lonely, I could feel your pain. Just take one step at a time and *hopefully* you will see some light. Take care, Mags No person is worth your tears, and the only one that is ...... will never make you cry |

Such a beautiful way of wording the emotion, it's a true pity that some of the greatest pieces are inspired by such negative events, but i send my best wishes to you. Great work. " How can i feel if i can't breathe..." - Godsmack |

"Wishing I could merely die" (life being such a lie) a most fitting end to living hell at least in the poem you tell hang in there, Keth |

Kethry... I could relate to the 3am bit... I hate that scared feeling at 2am or 3am or 4am... Sometimes I wish I'd just get REAL mad so it would overcome other feelings. *sigh* You wrote this really well!  Take loads of care!~ Tara ~ may you live all the days of your life. -- jonathan swift |

The night's embrace can be chilling in its seeming forever emptiness A message most can relate all too well to. |

ThyWizard, thanks for the response, and yes so many of the pain emotions are stronger than the happy ones but still they all teach us something. Krawdad, thanks, I don't want you to think I'm suicidal merely "tired". taramw, thanks, 3am the worst time for me cause it's too far from midnight to be useful and too far from dawn to offer hope. He, thank you, most times I embrace the night but when the night embraces back it's hard!!! Be well Keth Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life. Patty Hansen. |

Kethry, Like you, I find that I embrace the night.. yet, as you've so eloquently written, the night seems to enhance both happiness and pain. I hope you find your way to happier nocturnal times.

The phrase "it is always darkest before the dawn" speaks of so much more than the physics of light, doesn't it? A superb piece that (I imagine) must touch us all. It certainly touched me. |

Insomia sucks. I get it too from time to time and sometimes it does feel like it would be better to die instead. GIS a trickle of music from a well |

Oh Kethry this sounds so sad. When I can't sleep I find this is the time I write my poetry. Maggie |

It's stunning how close that is to exactly what I'm going through, right now. "I don't need to scream for you to deem me aggravation." |
