Screeching mind stopping,
too much pain,
overcoming emotions
draining the reservoir
to carry on further, futile.

Bruised soul,
banged up
bill collector days,
taxing nights
legislating minutes
into political horrors.

Medicating minutes
in charged up seconds,
lawyers taking all the gas
spent on surviving.

Weight of moving
suicide surviving,
sitting with no chance
battered into a junkyard.

Light so strong
that faith draws
power from it,
quit moving me.

Stop your miracle
which sees hope,
let me be invalid
stamped as useless.

Quit brightening up
the exterior in hope,
let me die in peace,
quiver, why is my heart
beating again?

Other’s are now saying,
I am a classic
worth saving
in restored feelings.

Rusted up memories,
the tears ate you away
is there a skeleton
that remains?

Do not revive me
to be abused
for heaven’s sake
or I will curse the day
that I believed again.

Sometimes things can
make a difference
by just being there,
destroyed but recyclable,
so shed a tear upon it
and shine from it.

Somewhere out there~

But things can change. There is hope out there. Sometimes it's in a word that opens your heart to another way  of thinking, or in a strangers smile that you weren't expecting that somehow liberates you for the rest of the day, or realization of thought that just comes from somewhere out of the blue, a revelation that never coursed through your mind before. In the knowing there is someone out there that's watching your life, and if you aren't there the mix will be incomplete for their life. Please rethink. If there's no purpose that you see, then remember things are not always what they seem even to ourself. Despairing thoughts are, at times, needed to be alone, but there are also times they need intervention by another. Misery doesn't love company it's just there are times when miserable people are with other miserable people because they are both understanding each other and are searching together to find the answers. I think so anyway. I think it would be better than searching alone. That's the impression I get, and instead of judging people we should see their pain, and try as much as humanly possible to help them. Then there will be 2 miserable people that aren't miserable anymore, but happy at the same time as the other. No longer miserable. So don't ever listen to people if they judge becasue you are miserable.(and I'm not saying they do, I'm saying IF they do.) If that's their reaction they are not there with a heart to help, and soon they will be the miserable ones. I hope you are better soon!!! Look up. When you hit rock bottom there's no other place to go. God really is there. He isn't some mystical farce of a thought in someones mind to conduct mind control. He's a good God that loves you. Pray, and reach out to him.

Love,
