At times the feelings become to strong
and panic mode begins to stir again
emotions over rule        where thought belongs
somedays it feels as though I'll never win.

I think of this, and dwell       on that
no calm thoughts can I seem to find
just a constant          ratatat tat
I fear I might lose my mind.

A broken spirit holds no words
when suffering love and pain of life
even the trill of cooing birds
doesn't help to ease   this strife.

Oh, please let these   shattered moments   cease
give me just a few moments         of peace.


I must have had my momma's will
and Gods Amazing Grace...

I'm a survivor....

i do hope the peace you seek you find... it does at times seem all we can want..a few moments peace from ourselves and our doubts.

well written... and nicely expressed.

Absolutely. And sometimes you'll say, I'm not going to think about that! And two minutes later, what are you thinking about? Yeah. Oh well, I hope you get some peace.

Donna--Sometimes coming out of a place of turmoil, peace just is, comfortable and waiting.  You'll find it!

Donna,

You've captured perfectly that brokenness I've certainly felt a long time ago.

Thank you for putting into beautiful words and clarity what many struggle through and can't identify so eloquently; a relief for them to know someone else feels this way.

Expressing it as well as you have is a gift you give to all.

May you receive back the measure of it's value. And, you will.

Hugs and love, Pat

..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons..
