Do you curse the day you were born
your soul tattered and torn
hate the very date
as if it somehow sealed your fate?

Do you look upon life
with hatred- disdain
some how blaming it
for all of your pain?

Do you lay in bed at night
sobbing into your pillow
Not wanting to hold on
but unable to let go?

Do you scream in silent agony
that life is so unfair
and try to convince yourself
that you no longer care?

Do you lay in the darkness
unable to see the light
and wonder if things will ever
once again be right?

Do you think you're strong
when you are weak
because your pride refuses
to let you speak?

Do you have things in your heart
you're needing to say
but ignore those things
brush them away?

Do you realize it's okay
to grab a helping hand
that there is someone out there
who's sure to understand?

Do you know the weak become strong
when they chose to fight
against the darkness closing in
and the dying of the light?

Do you know these things
yet chose to disreguard
given up on trying
trying's just too hard?

Do you want to be like me
one who no longer tries
who has only herself to blame
for the teardrops from her eyes?

baby can I hold you tonight
maybe if told you the right words...

i thought this poem was interesting..you started in a negative way then talked of helping hands so I thought it would end on a positive note...but then it swung back again to a sad and lonely ending.
I think we all feel this way sometimes...and if your writing helps you then great..but you are never alone....remember there are people all around who will listen and care
Take care

Once again Starr you speak to me...Its like we are sisters that are far away from each other that have a strong bond in the same feelings we endure...Your words always speak to me....*huggz*
