Say you will be there When I cannot find my way Please help me find the words When I struggle for something to say Will you please be my eyes When I lose my guiding light And put your arms around me When the day turns into night Say you'll hold my hand As I search for the right track I desperately need your guidance Please get these demons off my back Say you'll be beside me As I face up to my fears Don't let me drown alone Amongst my neverending tears Stop my heart from breaking Use a needle and thread Disguise all of these scars From where my heart has bled Give me inner strength For I have lost the will to fight The enemy lives inside me Out of mind and out of sight Suetang [This message has been edited by Suetang (05-30-2002 10:16 PM).] |

You write so well and convey the feelings in your heart. I thought of the misconception that someone else can give us what we cannot give ourselves...beautiful write. ThisDiamond |

Thank you all for your comments. I have to say that I was feeling very low when I wrote this yesterday and the words just came so readily. Obviously my sadness and raw emotion came across to others. I'm sorry for being so down. Maybe I need a break from writing as it has made me so very emotional lately (more than normal). Take care.....Sue Suetang |

Sue, I think many of us have felt this emotion at one time or another.... Sometimes it helps even more to sit down and write out the feelings, getting really deep into them...even if you share them only with yourself... All of us make mistakes in our lives that affect others we love....We might not express the love to them, but it is truly there. You cannot change others in your life, and vice versa.... Just try to remember that the only thing you can change...is YOU... And even then, patience is needed...and faith... HUGS.. Barry |

No matter who is around you, the path is always yours to walk alone. iT is so true, the enemy is within ourselves and it takes so much strength to overcome. This reslly strikes a familiar cord, your emotions so powerfully expressed Liz |

Hi Sue! Time to wrap your arms around yourself (as you do the rest of us) and ride out the storm. This too will pass--low points never seem to pass fast enough. Oscar Wilde said "Suffering is one long moment." Please be patient with yourself. Hugs! Shenachie |

Hi Sue - Gosh this is so sad and I truly hope you are feeling a bit better. Don't give up or give in to those dark feelings. Your Dad is with you and would want you to be happy. Being strong and tough when your heart is breaking is so darn hard. Hang in there....a lot of us are pulling for you. Hugs, Marti " My wrinkles are badges of courage and reveal that I am a Mother." |
