The darkness of the final curtain
is now frighteningly certain
there will be no escape
from the things that have taken shape

Time to forgive the past
free from the chains at last
break through this mold
finally try to get a hold

Where I will go from here
always stay very near
those that I cherish
I will not allow myself to perish

Have to be strong
the ordeal has been long
weary from the fight
the end is in sight

A divorce is in the wings
new found freedom rings
a chance to live for me
can be so much more I see

When one door closes another opens..
All we can be is the best we can be..
Find your strength, find your purpose hon
Great work  

 A heart and soul are not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others...

Isis....Thank you very much for the words of encouragement.  I know there is another door opening very soon.  I have done my best here, but that wasn't good enough so onward I go.  I have found more strength than I ever thought I had and yes, a purpose too.  Amazing what one can accomplish when faced with the reality of it.  Perhaps we should talk sometime??  Let me know....

Freedom is one everyone should wish for in life

Free to breathe
Free to think
Free to move
Free to love
Free to grow

No more thoughts of perishing. After all ,you've just one life to live for.
Dark curtains are some sorta mind block that you can overcome at anytime . Just throw away these negative thoughts. Just feel free like you're afloat just the wind as your companion. You've a great life. Just you've to see..see...see. Just take my words for today and start practising it.
Sincerely
A_L

Excellent writing...yes it is always best to take a position of strength...that doesn't mean it won't be hard, or that there will not be times to cry...but overall you must take control of your destiny and do what is right for you and the new life that is already yours.    James

A_L,
Thank you for the advice and I will take it to heart.  Today I will practice it.  I know the curtain is temporary and I will overcome it.  

James,
Thank you.  I try to be strong, but there are times when I cry and yes, it is hard at times.  I am in control of my destiny and know I can do anything.  A new life is mine to mold...  Thanks for the kind words!!

Your final curtain will be the time for your encore my friend!  This was a work with great strength pouring through it which I have no doubt that you will find once again as you continue on the path that you are on.....the path that leads back to "you".

 Hold me for yesterday
Kiss me for tomorrow
But love me for today.

Lone Wolf - this is another gem, my friend!  Divorce sucks big-time...but along with being a bitter end to one segment of our lives, it can be a positive beginning to another one.  So glad you have realized this!  {{{HUGS}}}

Butterflies...
Thank you, my friend.  I hope it is!!!  Yes, the road to "me" is one that hasn't been visited in years.  Gla dto have the strength to go back though.  

Troy...
Wow...A gem!!!  Thank you!!!  It does suck, but I know in my heart it is for the best.  There are bigger and better things awaiting me.  I'm glad too, my friend!!  {{{{HUGS}}}} to you, as always!!

Wishing you the best of luck   Divorce seems to be looming on my horizon too, but I also see the endless possibilities of freedom and hope and a new start and you expressed that so well in your poem...

 Mystical being
which makes ink flow
Surround me in
your incandescent glow
Fill my brain with
thoughts and rhyme
As I try to capture
but a moment in time
