I lined the bottles on the desk filled with small pills of green and pink. I spread them out in a circle. Pushing them around as I think. The voices in my mind say things that to friends I can not explain. There are times in the past few days I thought I was going insane. Do the words here scare you my friends? Then just think how frightened I am. There are times when here by myself, that I’m sure I don’t give a damn. Some days are better then others. Sometimes I can’t rise on my own. Sometimes I feel smothered with love and some days I feel all alone. I grasp at this moment of strength. And right now I know I’ll go on. I gather the pills in my hand with a swirling flush.. they are gone. ------------------ Not all poems I write are about me personally, yet they do come from MY soul. |

This poem really reached a part of me that is seldom seen. I believe everyone feels this in some way at some time in their lives....there are times when I withdraw into myself and though I'm not tempted to take my life, I'm tempted to retreat - another form of death......I've always enjoyed your love poetry, you humorous poetry and now I've found I like your darker works. On a personal note: you are strong...I sense it in your words...I believe in fate and I know that your world will be fine soon.. you are just being tested now...you'll be even stronger when your life is perfect. (when hubby is with you again!)  |

Lucie, your poetry reflects an utter despair I can't tag a label to but have certainly felt in my life. You, personally were a form of strength for me in on of my very dark periods, I hope somehow I can return the favor if needed. God Bless you. ------------------ Michael Anderson Is all that we see or seem but a dream within a dream? |

Lucie, I know I can say this in jest because you are my best friend, and you know I only wish to bring you many smiles....."Thanks for flushing..." Seriously...If you want my # and if ever you find yourself in this situation again...you just call me and we'll talk through it, ok? You know I'm almost always home. Sometimes just hearing a voice, when you're feeling so all alone, really does help. I love you girl! Chin up !! ------------------ ~~ Lift your head high - spread your "words" and fly - - poetFemmeFatale |

When you cannot escape the pain, endurance is the only option my friend. I am glad that you endure. ------------------ Now and forever, my heart hears ~one voice~. DreamEvil© |

Lucie, I'm so glad that you were able to turn it around. I've been in that same situation more times than I's like to admit and twice I wasn't able to "turn it around" quite fast enough and ended up in the hopital--long story--ALWAYS CALL SOMEONE!! No one is worth your life--or mine. By the way, enjoyed the read. |
