Found this in my personal achieves....geez I was a mess!!

My dreams are haunted
My anguish complete
My love unspoken
My once constant tears, deplete

Solitude has become my best friend and enemy
Loneliness my reluctant companion
My darkness is self-induced, yet so unwanted
My fears are what drive me

Each morning brings despair for how I spent the night before
Alone with my music and candle light
Behind my steel door

I get up each morning and flinch at my own reflection
So surprised at the depth of my sorrow
Wondering how I got to a place of such dejection

It's a place that many have shared with you, my friend...a place where you hit bottom, only to learn more about yourself and grow in ways that you don't even realize at the time! This is an introspective write, and a very fine one...it shows that life is not always bright, but it also gives the impression that the dejection can be overcome!  Appreciated this insight!

Accept these small gifts from my gypsy soul, and let the magik happen!  ~~S~~

Its hard sometimes to figure out how we get to the stage we are at. Usually reasons behind the loneliness and pain become muddled. Very good job expressing this

(big hugggssssss) I too can suprise me how low I can go too, to the point when I was young I almost gave up my life, but then when I faced the Lord, I now understand I just got too hard on myself, I should love myself first as that is the most important thing, of course I didn't get it the first minute but I studied how to do so now I have brought myself back up again and I believe if you do the same and find your inner-confidence, you will be back on your feet and will soon enough fly! (sad sigh) I send angel hugs your way, dearest friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Susan, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
