I've come to hate the holidays, blasphemous, I know. Too hard to be happy when you have nowhere to go. I thought about it yesterday, I think there was just one. A Christmas Eve eight years ago, when I truly felt some love. One Thanksgiving back in eighty-nine, I had a moment then. We cooked the turkey, drank champagne, too bad it had to end. New Years Eve is just the worst, although I can count two, in all the years that pass me by that weren't completely blue. July the fourth, the loudest day, the hardest to ignore. The revelry of all of them goes on outside my door. Halloween not quite so bad, it's theme reflects my mood. The journey to the darker side gives me a chance to brood. Let's not forget the birthdays, the holidays for one. Alone or not, it's just too much, the effort to have fun. The phoniness is rampant as they wish you all the best. A casual hug, a "happy day", no different from the rest. Yes, holidays depress me. They point out all I lack. No life, no love, no money tree, sometimes I think I'll crack....... |

Oh my!! Okay I understand what you are saying here, I really do!!! But try not to let the holidays make you see the things you DONT have but yet the small things you are greatly for. I know it is difficult to do, but it CAN be done!! Nice poem too!  Peace Once there was a darkness Deep and endless night You gave me everything you had Ahhhhhh you gave me light |

A poignant statement indeed. Sorry you are apparently so low. A well done poem however. If you need a friend, we are all here. "Misery is but the shadow of happiness. Happiness is but the cloak of misery" ...Lao-Tsze... Life be not God's greatest gift. Of what worth be life without the capability to love? |

God how well I know this point also kid. I spend them alone to, with my bird. God. Joel. I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel. |

Sandra, what a great poem! How well do I understand and can relate to those deep emotions you have bared with us all in this work. A really awesome poem... Cyndey "All that we see or seem, Is but a dream within a dream" Edgar Allan Poe |
