"CrossRoads" I've come to a point in my life Where nothing adds as up as it should No longer can I pretend all is okay It wouldn't work even if I could Things haven't been right in my life For a very long time If I don't take the time to find out what's wrong I will surely lose my mind Depression isn't the problem Though I am certainly not happy I just feel lost as if in a snow storm Blind and unable to see None of the pieces fit any longer It's time to locate me again I need to take a break And start my life again Somewhere being a couple I lost the the essence of me No longer can love hide the truth Doesn't matter if it's meant to be If it's meant to be than it will But I've learned you can not rush love I need some new found strength As I turn to the Lord above CrossRoads is where I'm at And I'm not sure of the way to go I just need a time out That's the only thing I know So a deprieve I am taking Away from this Passions family of mine Going to take care of myself I believe it's past time Stress can tear up your life As I am beginning to learn The pain from not dealing Continues to burn I promise that I will return A new soul and spirit I hope to discover My heart feels broken and tired Something that I need to recover I've nowhere left to turn No more putting things on shelf CrossRoads is where I am It's time to rediscover myself Take care all of you. I will return back to here when I can. Till then God bless you all. Love, Amy |

I have dones this a time or two and it is true that we all need a break from time to time to find ourselves and to take care of that which needs to be taken care of. I look forward to your return. Take care. The White Wolf |

Wow. I know exactly what you are saying here. You put the words so clearly. I've been there myself, and had to re-discover myself also. Good luck. |

Amy love, god speed and be with you. Remember if you keep putting your own needs and desires on one side while you deal with everyone elses little problems you will only weaken your spirit. Cherish your soul, find your centre, rediscover who and what you wish to be, and then seek your own happiness. Don't do things just because others wish it, you are not responsible for anyone elses life, or decisions, and don't let others make your decisions for you. Take care love And if you need me, call me, I'll be here, I am as always Mushy Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

You have touched my soul with this poem Amy. I am also approaching a crossroad in my life and I am dreading the moment when I know I will have to decide what direction I am going to take. I pray that you find your "way" and discover yourself. Please do not put your wonderful poetic talents on the shelf for too long. I believe that a poet's words are a clear reflection of everything within their heart, mind and soul. I denied my muse for too long thinking that writing was a crutch when all along it was my greatest source of comfort. The Passions forum has given back to me something I lost. Don't stay away too long; "we" are here for you. And if you ever need someone to just listen, drop me an ICQ. ) Take care |

Sometimes we do become so consumed in our love for another that we do lose track of ourselves ... take all the time you need sweetie... we will be here and saving your spot in our hearts ... you have always drawn your strength from two places ... your angel and your faith ... this time will be no different ... you are stronger than even you know ... you're just tired right now... rest a while ... the light will guide you back to you ... you know...the one that shines in your heart take care of you sunshine girlie love you me Some people find subtlety in strangers if you find anything~let me in Your eyes~you see everything my eyes~I see it all together now~and I know |
