Lost in thought

0 posted 2003-01-19 03:30 AM



Simply a travesty
Life’s gotten hard.
A wreck of a person,
Broken and scarred.

With a hope in tiniest
Grain of the sand.
Can’t move a mountain
Nor raise up a hand.

Without a thought
The rise of loss,
Too far down now
At too much cost.

To give up a lifetime?
...Just want it to end.

I’ll hope a bit longer
Tell me I’m you friend.

I breathe
A gasp.
I stand
And fall.

To blink
My eyes,
Takes up
My all.

And you expect me, to run?
To make a journey, having fun?

I give my best.
I sit real high,
But broken down
I close my eyes.

Give me some time
‘Cause I can’t last
And can’t you see?

I’m falling fast.

(bleh, sorry, its a depressing one. ..at least I've shown a FeW hoping, faith, ones lately!)

- And so it was that time stood still -
     (blink, breathe, stand, fight)

Alyssa,

Nice to see the scope of your poetic talents; that you can write of despair and depression as well as hope and freedom. Nice write.

Hugs, Pat

Dixie,
well it will pass.. sometime, that much I know. Thank you.

Inkedgodess,
yea, the writing really is a comfort. I'm glad I found THIS comfort thank you

Pat,
I actually am afraid I write the depressing stuff better than the rest. You should see the stuff I refuse to show anyone! ..nono, wait, you shouldn't see that! Thank you! Hugs

Ethel,
