This isn’t what it used to be I can’t go on pretending that it still fulfills my need I am going to get going, knowing my loss will hardly be felt Except by me This place no longer gives me validity I try sifting through the debris in my mind Cluttered with leftover thoughts Of what it is I really need Thoughts from all the yesterdays that got messed up beyond The sacrificial bleed It’ll only hurt for a little while But it will take several life times To understand and compile The excuses and learned behavior That feeds from one to another The fanning of the flames Leaves me choking on the self hatred Making me wish I were anywhere But here, gasping for unaware "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

Oh, Susan. This aches. It appears that you are writing from a very unhappy place. However, your spunky spirit will surely spark the changes that need to be made to bring you the life that you deserve. Hugs with love, Linda |

"This place no longer gives me validity"  I don't think it was ever supposed to. Validity. It's a birthright lovie.  |

Thank you all. and K? Not validity in a general sense...we have things that make us feel good about ourselves....what I speak of in the writing is something that no longer gives me that feeling and for that I feel a huge loss. So I choose to let it be. A fork in the road I guess.. No, Icy, not going anywhere in the physical sense. "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

Howdy Neighbor! :-) Soul searching is painful but rewarding. When we become satisfied with ourselves though our journey into spiritual growth ends. Somedays we can take a step somedays we must rest but we can never stop. I find it comforting to know there are others that might need my hand along the way and that they are willing to lend me theirs. You would be missed! |

"I am going to get going, knowing my loss will hardly be felt Except by me" Sad and lonely lines, skillfully written. Great poem. |

The entire poem I felt... but this, "This isn’t what it used to be I can’t go on pretending that it still fulfills my need I am going to get going, knowing my loss will hardly be felt Except by me" *sigh* wow |
