Can somebody help me?
Tell me what's wrong?
I'm happy here,
but it's all coming back...
the lonliness, the emptiness,
the hate and the fear.
They're supposed to be gone.
Things once brightly colored
are now turning gray.
How I hate this feeling,
please make it go away.
Don't leave me here tonight,
I don't want to stay and fight.
I need your hand to steady me,
to pick me up when I fall.
To guide me and protect me
from whatever comes my way.
I don't understand this.
I don't have to rely on pills
to be able to be myself.
I want it to leave,
but the more I wish
for it's destruction,
the higher the waves
of my memory are
that crash upon my head
drowning me...
killing me...
can somebody help me?
Tell me whats wrong.


I run, I fall. I walk, I sometimes crawl. I give, I take. I bend and yet somehow I break

happiness is a wonderful place to be in, but it can be very unsettling to have bad feelings rise up within agian.....just focus all your energy on what is right with you (like the happiness) and forget about what is wrong with you (that rising gloom)..the less you pay attention to sadness, the quicker it fades......great poem...hope all is well.

I think when we go thru something very stressful or sad it leaves scars...
sometimes the past comes to visit us but as time goes by the visits are less frequent and less intense...thats my experiences...
Trying to fill the now with good memories so I can look back on those...James

James is spot on, each time they (the memories) come back they are a little weaker and less frequent.  Hold onto the good memories and make some more to help banish the bad.  Well written
