 Uploaded with ImageShack.us Just feeling a little down in the dumps. Needed to vent, that's all. strange feelings these feelings of mine these days feel like an orphan with no where to settle I go to this halfway place part time a few hours have to speak in guarded language the owners of the place might be listening there's another place I used to go not anymore it's been shut down the halfway place isn't too bad at least I can settle in kinda but at the end of the day no where to go so . . . like in the old days I stay alone I shouldn't complain and I don't except every so often like now ©April 24, 2012 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ [This message has been edited by JerryPat2 (04-25-2012 05:39 AM).] |

I agree, incwritem, that is why I posted here. It will be all right by tomorrow, but I needed to say it . . . ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

That photo really does the trick. Feelings of being orphaned from the rest of the world well communicated here Jerry. Good writing. Eric true love never looks after it's own interests |

Hi, Jerry. You go where many of us have gone before but thankfully "tomorrow" is always better. Sometimes, however, it may take a week, a month or a year to arrive but it always does eventually arrive. Meanwhile it gives rise to good poetic vents as you have done here while we wait for that better tomorrow. Helen |

Yeah, you right, Startime, The Blue Room is good for that and many other things. <><><><> Thank, Eric. Like I said above the poem, I'm feeling better this morning. Just a mental lapse last night, that is all this was. Appreciate the thoughts. <><><><> Yep, tomorrow is here, Eric, and things are right with the world. Thank you for the words of wisdom. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

You have done well, Jerry, to write down your feelings of melancholy, for so many others (maybe even all who read it) can relate to it. And all in all it is uplifting, as you already know it will pass ... and pass it did. But when we are stuck in the dark room of loneliness, it isn't a nice place to be, indeed. Very well written moment of life. Margherita |

Wise words, Margherita. Yeah, even as I was writing it, I knew it would pass. I almost didn't post it, because I felt things would resolve itself, but why write it if you are fearful of posting? Appreciate your kind words, Margherita. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |
