Painful Conclusion

I never did enjoy those times
when the sorrows of life
look you squarely in the EYE.

Revealing incredibly painful revelations
for your sad eyes to behold
and sinking your heart and soul
to the cruel depths down below
to sulk in your hurt and CRY.

And while you wallow in all the painful confusion
you begin to wonder if life is real or only an illusion and WHY.

Til that last massive overdose of sorrow
brings way too much hurt for today or tomorrow
and you come to the Painful Conclusion
the only hope your have left to live
is to shrivel up and DIE.

I like the paradox at the end.
It is too close to true.

I'm sure we've all had moments like that. I liked this too, James.

Well....you know I always love your writing, but this is so dark compared to ones of late.  you have gone through tough times before, and you can do it again.  I know it isn't what you had in mind.....but fate has cards that it doesn't want to show.

Hugs, my friend

Thank you jamie, Denise, Marina, kaile, and Paula for your warm responses.
I am fine...just a stressful period in my life...I thought I had the strength to step back and wait and now I am not sure...but I can feel the strength coming to me...I can see where it is coming from...within myself.
My plan is to face that which I fear the most..and it will not be as bad as I feared...I know...James
