Here I sit again, just as lonely before I honestly don't think I can take much more My heart bleeds all over the page, yes once again Things really haven't changed much since then I try to explain how I feel, but fear no one understands Still though of myself more I continue to demand What more can I do, other than to never again lie I let go of the old me, finally I've said goodbye I can feel the tears, they are welling up in my eyes I hear the heaviness of my breathing, that old familiar sigh I know it's only a matter of time, when the tears will fall My heart feels so lost, to my soul it does call I just let myself release everything I hold inside No longer can I pretend, No more can I hide I cry like a baby, the sobs only I can hear Racked with this feeling inside of me, consumed with fear I slide down the wall I'm standing by Sitting on the ground, I just continue to cry I feel that familiar pain, but it's almost a friend Please don't let this be how it's all going to end People tell me it will be okay, but they aren't inside of me What I wouldn't give just for a single day to feel completely free Slowly I get back up, determined to try and smile I walk outside in the sunsine, and I feel better for a while "love is like a butterfly-- |

So heart-wrenching. That feeling of hopelessness..reaching for something, and not quite being able to grab that one thing that can free. Also feeling helpless to change. Not an easy thing to go through. I hope things go well for you, soon. Sending a  SharaRose @-->-- Of sound, and speech let all lift the hearer! |

It's good to see you posting, Amy...I've missed your writing. There is much emotion and sadness in this poem, also strength. |

People tell me it will be okay, but they aren't inside of me Aimster, this is so sad. And, this line says a whole lot. Sometimes people think they're helping when they don't realize the extint of the sadness. Hope you feel better soon.  Hugs  Ethel |

This reminds me of a time in my life, and it was a period of duration, when I had to go on even though my life was a mess...I just had to go on and do the best that I could...it builds a certain strength...and we tend to leave the junk behind and eventually we see a new beginning...a new purpose...a new direction...hope good things happen for you...try to look for the good...any little thing...don't focus on what you don't have...focus on what you do have...James |

Awww Amy, I don't know what's inside of you but I know what's inside of me and I've been feeling just like this lately. It was a pretty rough time for me. Cry whenever ya feel like it and let it all out. It's all ok in time. Trust me. And smile.  ~Elizabeth Dreams last for so long, even after you're gone... |

Thank you all for your concern and understanding. Your replies warmed my heart this morning. For any of you who know me well, know that I normally don't portray this much sadness. I assure you there is no cause for alarm or anything. I just needed to get all of this out. I am going through a difficult time, if any of you have time to go into the Feelings forum, that will explain more. I will be okay though, thank you all for your encouragement. Take care.

Hang in there, hon. It's tough, but life does go on. You just never know what's waiting for you out there. All writing comes |
