Looking into the mirror
Seeing myself looking back
No expressions, no smiles
Finally I face the facts

My life has gone down hill
Feelings are long gone
Tears are streaming down
A simple sparkle for which I long

Happiness has eluded me
Pity is what I feel
No sun shines upon me
Darkness is a constent deal

Hitting rock bottom
Is where I am as of today
Saddness has overcome me
I know no other way

Wondering why I am here
What is my purpose in life
Feeling all this self doubt
Can not be my long life strife

I reach for a hand to help
A little direction or a map
Pull me out of this hole
For I no longer can adapt

Yet no one is near
My self pity was too much
No one to lend a hand
Or feel the warmth of their touch

Now sitting all alone
Drowning in my own tears
Knowing I must face...
The purpose of all my fears!

Don't fear your tears!

Oh wow, that one made me cry.  I hope that if this is a real life story, it will be better for you.  Nicely done.

This is such a sad piece that hits so close to home!  I hope you find your way out of this abyss.  I've always had a personal saying to help me get through the day...whenever you slip and fall into the gaping, dark abyss, remember that there are always other people down there to help you break your fall.

You may not see them or be able to talk to them, but they're there.

Another great piece.

I love the lines some men use to get us into bed. "Please, I'll only put it in for a minute." What am I, a microwave?
