When I shut out the world for pain to pass And wall myself off behind bricks of glass When splinters of hurt does sorrow amass I lose my way indeed When I castrate my soul in hope of gain And promise someday that I'll live again When the grave of my making, becomes life in vain I stand as one in need When all is now lost to the wind of my grief And weeping or wailing brings no relief By emotion, I'm tossed as a sere tattered leaf I seek true love in greed When all my soul searching leads me to me And all of the things I promised to be Disappointed in trying, I stand in life's lee I kneel alone and bleed When windows of promise darken and hide All of the questions I'm hiding inside When faith is a word I despise and deride I cannot hope concede When whispering bile crawls in my ear Locked in isolation I barely can hear Surrounded by wire the core of my fear Death I hold as creed When my strength is gone in a lifetime of pain And I don't have the courage to stand up again My friends are the balm and the victory's refrain Hallelujah for I'm freed Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.

God keep you safe and nurture you completely until you are healed. You broke my heart with this one, I know this feeling. |

I loved the ending My friends are the balm and the victory's refrain Hallelujah for I'm freed Friends get us through so much of what life throws at us. You obviously have some good ones If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

I would have been sad, were it not for the friendly ending. It really is worse when we bottle up all our pain and frustration. Working through all these troubles together is really the only way to go. I'm comforted knowing that we are surrounded by people who are willing to offer love over hate, peace over war, friendship over isolationism. Thanks for being in this circle of love. |

Bravo Kethry!! You have found out one of life's little secrets, friends indeed can be one's strength. And you have plenty of them here, so it DOES make a difference. Hope all is ok....?? Hugs from Sunny Queensland my friend.. Isis *The greatest warrior is one that does not need to fight* ~Isis~ |

keth, hi hon...been a while since i've seen your wonderful work. you write this with such depth--I feel the pain but I also see the hope at the end. i also believe friends are the greatest thing in this world! Keep writing, and take care. Amy "If I am ever going to mend this broken heart...you look like a good place to start" |

When all is now lost to the wind of my grief And weeping or wailing brings no relief By emotion, I'm tossed as a sere tattered leaf This is a magnificent write, Kethry... I think I've walked similar paths... but could never have put it so well. It's good to read your words. |
