I should've known better,
Than to think you'd understand,
Should've know better,
You'd just hide your head in the sand.

Foolishly I kept hoping,
That you'd understand my plight,
Silently I kept praying,
That you'd join me in my fight.

Alas I'm deemed unworthy,
For understanding or sympathy,
I simply don't deserve your time,
The time it would take to understand me.

For long months now I've been toiling,
I never get time to even think of me,
No longer the fires are burning,
The light within is failing can't you see?

I wanted to lean on you,
Wanted you to be the strong one,
Instead I'm left standing all alone,
And slowly I'm coming undone.

I should've known better,
Than to think you'd stand by my side,
I should've known better,
I must confide.

I must face all this alone,
Seems to be my lot,
I'll just leave you to your lonely ways,
A life filled with unspeakable filth and rot.

I'll tell you this...... No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn.....

Good to see you, my friend.
Whoa ! Need to slow down, hon.
You can't 'do it all' and
you can't 'be it all' !
No one can.

Take that 'SuperWoman' cape off
and ground yourself.
(or find an empty phone booth to hide in)

Just do what you can and
take a breather for YOU !
*Hugs* and prayers.

So many shades of angst you've taken and painted a rainbow of gray shadow, but a rainbow nonetheless. Well writter, Isis!

~Oh Isis,...you've expressed this so well. My heart is heavy to know of your troubles. You have written with talent the mountains you climb each day. Please be well Isis. *Peace.

Great expression...

Isis, It feels good to be back in this chamber... the hall of darkness feels so inviting today...
