My mind goes into overload
as another day passes by.
Nothing ever good enough
no matter how hard I try.
First it's this, then it's that
no time to breathe, just sigh.
I watch the setting sun
the darkness growing nigh
I stare up at the heavens
and lift my voice on high,
please let this weary heart rest
so I might dry these tears I cry
please help me to understand
why must it be this hard..please just tell me..
WHY!

On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.

I can feel the stress and the pressure as I read your poem ^.^ Very nicely written... But what makes you so sad?

Gentle Spirit, I understand you. In fact, I wrote one yesterday entitled 'Synaptic Overload.' (Not posted it yet.) Maybe we were sitting under the same dark cloud yesterday?

There is always the hope of a new day, in which we see things differently. Thank God for that. Beautifully expressed.

Dear Gentle Spirit, we all feel the way that you have felt. I recieved this email the other night and it was worth the read.
Try to keep smiling, don't forget we are all friends here.

Sincerely
Rick

How true!!!!!!!!!!

I AM THANKFUL FOR ......
THE PARTNER WHO HOGS THE COVERS EVERY NIGHT
BECAUSE HE/SHE IS NOT OUT WITH SOMEONE ELSE.

THE TEENAGER WHO IS NOT DOING DISHES
BUT IS WATCHING TV, BECAUSE THAT MEANS
HE/SHE IS AT HOME AND NOT ON THE STREETS.

FOR THE TAXES THAT I PAY, BECAUSE IT
MEANS THAT I AM EMPLOYED.

FOR THE MESS TO CLEAN AFTER A PARTY,
BECAUSE IT MEANS THAT I HAVE BEEN
SURROUNDED BY FRIENDS.

FOR THE CLOTHES THAT FIT A LITTLE TOO
SNUG, BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE ENOUGH TO EAT.

FOR MY SHADOW THAT WATCHES ME
WORK, BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM IN
THE SUNSHINE.

FOR A LAWN THAT NEEDS MOWING,
WINDOWS THAT NEED CLEANING, AND
GUTTERS THAT NEED FIXING, BECAUSE
IT MEANS I HAVE A HOME.

FOR ALL THE COMPLAINING I HEAR ABOUT
THE GOVERNMENT, BECAUSE IT MEANS
THAT WE HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

FOR THE PARKING SPOT I FIND AT THE FAR
END OF THE PARKING LOT, BECAUSE IT
MEANS I AM CAPABLE OF WALKING AND
THAT I HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH TRANSPORTATION.

FOR MY HUGE HEATING BILL, BECAUSE IT
MEANS I AM WARM.

FOR THE LADY BEHIND ME IN CHURCH
THAT SINGS OFF KEY, BECAUSE IT MEANS
THAT I CAN HEAR.
FOR THE PILE OF LAUNDRY AND IRONING,
BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE CLOTHES TO WEAR.

FOR WEARINESS AND ACHING MUSCLES
AT THE END OF THE DAY, BECAUSE IT
MEANS I HAVE BEEN CAPABLE OF WORKING HARD.

FOR THE ALARM THAT GOES OFF IN THE
EARLY MORNING HOURS, BECAUSE IT
MEANS THAT I AM ALIVE.

AND FINALLY.......
FOR TOO MUCH E-MAIL, BECAUSE IT
MEANS I HAVE FRIENDS WHO ARE
THINKING OF ME.
