I try so hard that it hurts.
I never seem to get anywhere,and then I
stop, and wonder why?all the tears I cry,
and still nowhere.
each day running into the next.
I feel like I am running lifes race to
nowhere. is there really a reason,or is it
just truth or dare?
there is a heavy dark feeling in my soul,
a void nothing to fill the hole.
still no answers why?
things that people take for granted
everyday to me are small treasures.
keep them near,and dear because someday
they will be gone,and so will I.
In the after the the next generation will
be here asking the same questions,and
giving the same thoughts. all with the same
conclusion. In every human soul there is
only but one certainty. that is eternity!
that is the only true meaning of the word
forever.

Isn't it strange how all of us are so different, yet at some time or another, in our lives, we all feel the pain you described here? My mind has hurt like this before so many times! I feel your desperation....

Gawd Richard, I'm so sorry I screwed your name up - how embarressing ! You'll have to understand how giddy I was when I was typing that -- I've just posted my first in the "naughty" forum and it's been a hit with the guys ! LOL
I do know who you are - please forgive me...
