what's happening to my thinking.
where once joy reigned supreme,
i find no trace of inner peace,
as if my life were in a holding pattern.

where has my will to live gone.
why is it i see no goodness inside
when there is goodness to be seen.
what has blinded eyes that once could see.

why does a loving heart start feeling angry
when before no anger was felt toward anything.
now everything is an issue to be dealt with.
feelings from long ago surface and strangle.

what is stopping me from believing in myself.
why is it so hard to walk away from the past
and leave all of these thoughts far behind me.
what is it going to take for me to see the light.

why is it so hard to do what has to be done.
why do i stay isolated from those who care.
what is it that will take me out of this mindset.
when will i be victorious in my will to survive.


still crazy after all these years..

Oh man, have I ever been going through that. And for the longest time too. I think it's part depression. Somethings seems to go wrong, maybe something we regret, and it goes downhill from there.

I can totally relate to this! I would say for years I went in and out of this. Just recently I decided to go back to school and do something positive with my life. I used to be a very happy person, and then I started being by myself. The longer it went on the deeper I got.

So if you can help it all, do something positive for YOU! You are ok, you are that great person you think you are!!!!
You'll be in my prayers!

Princess Pout,

Time and writing will heal your wounds. Just be patient and you will survive. no doubt about that. Great questions.

Kate,
All seasons are for reasons. Some are cold and barren and hurtful. All people go thru seasons. I hate my hard seasons, but I can assure you i will be strengthened when i endure and grow through this winter seasen in life and so shall you. There is nothing that can be said much to comfort. Hugs are needed and i can't reach thru except in my prayers and thoughts. But knowing you are not the only one is needful cause the silence would have us to think nobdoy understands or cares and that is not truth. Just the old darkness talking loud at us in the lonely season.
I am hanging in here and refusing to give into the dark..Will you grab my hand and hang on too?
Lots of love to you
Koko

and intellect

Aloha with
warmest regards, Koko

Thank you all so much for your kind and encouraging words. Staying positive is part of the answer I believe. Sometimes when I write I am merely thinking outloud. I appreciate feed back always, it does help to open my eyes always.

Blessings to you all

Kate
