What is wrong with me now?
I'm going crazy again.
All I can think about is
Where I have been.

I thought it was over,
That I'd forgotten my past.
I was doing a good job;
It's caught up with me at last.

I had the perfect outlook.
I WAS doing fine.
But look at me now,
Sanity's not mine.

The pain hasn't stopped coming.
Why has it returned?
No matter when started,
I still feel its burn.

I just can't forget;
But how I wish I could.
Then my life would be better;
It'd be how it should.

I can't stop the hurt
And it's too much to take.
I wish from this nightmare
I'd finally awake.

This is a fantastic poem......I want to let you know I have felt this way before and all that could be done was to hold onto anything that kept me in the here and now......Be strong and your heart will see you through.

If you should need......
all you have to do
is ask and I will reach out
for you, to lend a hand.

A very good poem, it seems you have stoled thoughts from my mind and caught them on paper.....great work.

I've been there.Standing alone in a crowded room.Feeling pain that can't be decribed.Wishing anything would happen to make it stop.This one touched deep.

Life is the dream I often wish I would awaken from myself. Good job.

It seems like this poem expresses, how many have felt, so well for I to wish this nightmare im in now would be interupted by my awakening.

GREAT POEM and keep posting
