Have you ever felt the walls closing in....and did not know how to stop them? I have felt that way many times in the last 2 years, but today was one of my worst. I feel left void? So here is all I could muster...... Walls closing in nothing left to say I tried to write today I wrote the usual pain it glared back at me I knew it was no use I COULD NOT CHANGE ONE THING by the words on the page I am hopelessly desolate turned to mere stone words mean nothing now so my writing is all in vain while I am THIS way INSANE WITH THIS SENSELESS PAIN!

Yes, I have felt that way. Usually because I am a procrastinator, lol, so I let things just fall toward me and overwhealm me. But on a more serious note, I have, indeed had this problem many times, especially in my inner conflict between spirituality and science/rational thought. I admire how you write down your feelings in verse, instead of letting them bundle up inside until you explode. We are the hollow men We are the stuffed men Leaning together Headpiece filled with straw. Alas! --T.S. Eliot |

It's a terrile feeling when those walls are closing in, overwhelming you! It can be hard to escape the feeling but for me writing certainly helps. Take care! "The heart and soul have no illusion of boundries when friendship is the quest" ~ My Angel. |

Hey, this is one sad piece of heartfelt emotion. So sorry you are stuck in that awful place. I do understand and feel it often myself. Please remember you are never alone, not 100%, as long as we all hang together in the bad times. Keep writing, no matter what comes out. I swear it helps me,even when the poems I write are such that only a friend could love. Besides, this was a great poem.  Sandra |

Yes I have and it didn't change until I accepted my fate and was willing to see the truth about myself. Kindof like God trying to tell us we are in the wrong place...our destiny is elsewhere...our happiness will come when we let go and change...just my experience....James |

I'm with James on this one. Hon, I know how you feel but you have to analyse fix the faults and improve the gifts you have, and make a conscious effort to better your life and world. It starts with a big decision, then little steps one at a time. And with faith and love to guide you it can only improve.. But I do know how you feel and you described it wonderfully so any reader would understand, feel your pain and feel sympathetic. Good work..

First of all let me say I am sorry for the long delay in replying. I came down with the dreaded flu.....man I hate that stuff. I still can't seem to stay upright for more than an hour. Anyway.....all of you encouraged me so. I felt as if you all gave me some direction. I have always seemed to find direction without too much trouble. But these last 2 years have been so dark, I sometimes have not a clue as to where I am going. fractal007......Boy, you are sooooo right about it being a spiritual battle! Thanks for reminding me of that. EagleOne....I take my hat off to you. Your poetry always shows me so much of your heart and leaves me with many pondering thoughts. catalinamoon....Sandra you are so kind and compassionate. Passions is so lucky to have a person like you. Thanks for being there, and reminding me others are there for me too! jmlee12345.....James.....whew, your reply hit me square between the eyes! Something I really already "know", but somehow truly have forgotten or maybe have been ignoring! I think I stepped away from reality for a bit, because I chose too. I needed to hear your reply! And last but NEVER least!! And of course.....the one with a whollop! hehe.... Isis.......are you trying to kill me?? hehe......You know I always thought I wanted to hear the truth, but somehow I did get caught in an illusion. I guess I have been royally coping out! Not like me.....but I gave up somewhere along the lines. Now it is time to pull myself up and I seem to stumble so much. Pray for my strength and whatever else I need to make it through. Thanks again for your responses! I truly appreciate them....and I needed them. |

Illusion....I too have felt the walls close in. But being the optimist that I am, I see it as finally having something to touch, if not to hang onto. See, what I hate worse is feeling like I'm totally adrift in the wind, with nothing concrete, nothing solid....just being blown along in the maelstrom of my emotions. Very nicely done. Hardrock |

Hi Lynne, First of all, I'm sorry you haven't heard from me in a while. I work all day on a computer and when I get home that's the last place I want to be. Just know that I haven't forgotten about you, I've just been lagging on my e-mails. Anyways, enough of that. I know exactly what it's like to feel the walls closing in on you. I've felt that way for a little over 2 years now. I feel for you because I feel it too. Hugs to you. Take care Lynne.  G Regret not that which you have done, Rather that which you haven't |

Hardrock....I agree about hating the feeling of "drifting"....but gezzzzzzzz this slamming me against the wall is a bit much!! Actually I know things happen for a reason and they prove to make us stronger, I just want it to be OVER!! Thanks for your kind words.G. A. Webb......Yes, you and I seem to be kindred spirits, with similar bum experiences in relationships, etc. No sweat on the emails, passions is a nice place to see where others lives are at. Take care and hope your walls will give you some breathing space soon! JOY 14......thanks Joy....your a real sweetie and I needed those hugs! |
