There is none in this life of interminable sad no love, money, joy, It threatens to break me I tire of story of same the needs of everyone which my efforts cannot cure This life of none Yet options are as absent as the rest. I once believed, maybe I still do that with enough faith and dreams you could will life to change. But reality begs to differ and I don't want it anymore this life of none it's not enough, it's not ok and I cannot alter it alone I am not enough to make up for the lack of a father in the lives of little girls I am not enough to make love again with the man I love if he will not come I am not enough to make the money, shore up the ill, help the poor I am weary of trying to be yet my spirit fights to go on though I can't say why, immersed in its' life of none. |

There's so much to say, but I don't know where to begin for chance of coming across trite or cliche... I guess, in everyone's life, there comes a point in time when enough is enough and change is greeted with open arms, even in the face of Fear -- this life is not meant to be a perpetual hell and no one can change another since change comes from within. I guess a very good thing to take into account is how relative everything is -- just when you think you have it all bad and it simply couldn't be any worse, you observe the person who has no roof over her head, food in her stomach, anyone around her who will listen to her or even give a damn... perhaps she is in a wheelchair or afflicted with the late stages of cancer... the list can go on for days, and I'm sure you get the idea... There comes a time when the only person who can help you IS you. Then, it's simply a "leap of faith", and chances are, what lies just on the other side of a decision is a reward. Food for thought, Sandra, but know that I know, at least in my own way, what you express. Life should be LIVED -- not survived, for regret is a very bitter companion. Take care of yourself and keep that pretty chin UP!  -MVS "It's all in the details -- the Big Picture always takes care of itself." |

Thanks Mark, I know all the things I should be doing, it just feels like they aren't working. But it will, eventually. And yes, I do agree, it can always get worse. It has already so many times... I appreciate your understanding.. Sandra |

Sandra, my sweet sister, My heart breaks for you feeling so sad these past few months, and your writing certainly reflects all the pain in a very vivid and intense way. I know it's so cliche', but the dark clouds do subside in time. Sometimes they are replaced by others, but sometimes...a whole new light in your life opens up. Your light is on it's way, your beauty and love has reflected on so many others...this time it's your turn.... I love you Princess, Elise |

I hope you know we can see you in the turret high. Your beauty can be seen from miles away. Please don't give up. Someone could be scaling their way to you as I write. You've already made a difference in ways you do not know. Your attempts are not in vain! Let down your hair sweet lady and others will make it to you soon. I hope you have a beautiful and peaceful day! BTW, This is exquisite writing. I'm sorry it has been so rough on you. But remember..."The sun will even shine on a dog's butt every once in a while" You are due Sandra!Sincerely, Regina |

no. . . you are not enough. . . no one is. . . all we can do is be who we are. . . that is all that is asked of us. . . for us to be asked to do any more. . . is not right. . . well done. . . a supreme outpouring of the heart . . . --------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

I can still remember what these feelings were like ... 25 years ago ... and I'm glad now that it happened ... I would not wish to experience the same once again and to this end I try that much harder to keep the spirit alive today I wish you the best as you endeavour to persevere ... and God's speed to your cure Rex |

catalinamoon, sometimes the light within us returns on it's own sweet time.....but oh, how sweet it is when it does. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |
