A Merry Christmas to ONE and All ...my AD family...I LOVE YOU!!

"Life Just Slip Away"

 

As I walk along this shoreline

I see my life just slip away…slip away

Like the dark cloud above my head each day

With every breath that I take

New fear still awakes

The fear of taking this route alone

Walking away from this place called home

There will be no return once I take the first step

As for now… this heart does not yearn

To float or embrace death zone alone

This shallow life filled with nothingness

Wallowing around in this dark abyss

Where there is no thrill or fun or love

Just running from booze and abuse

There was a time when life was fun

But for now I rather face the gun

For the bullet through my heart

Torn my life apart

I’ve been walking in darkness for years now

Watching my life slip away…slip away from me

Like the dark cloud above my head

There will be no return

For a new life to begin

This heart yearn for HONEST love

Baby Girl! I felt every word of this truthful, real write! It is an echo of my life. I have begun to pray that GOD will send a REAL MAN to love me and take me away from the abyss that I dwell in. LOVE YOU! SC

Never are our problems so overwhelming as to seek a premanant solution to something we can change.
NEVER use a permanant solution for a temporary problem.
Christmas Wishes upon a star for you Tinka.

You are a unique person, Tinka. Surrender all your troubles to the Lord and He shall sustain you. This is a season of hope and love, so please always remember that when "God brings you to it, He will get you through it..." That 'honest love' is just around the corner, you just have to believe. Merry Christmas!

Be well,
Sheri

...a heart yearns...to light the way...and darkness becomes less evident...especially when one has strong desire. Continue to carry the lantern in your heart...to light your way...and life will not slip.
my best wishes for a Merry Christmas...

Disturbing write,Tinka. Cannot say that I do not understand...wrote something similar a while back...took it off, as it seemed to disturb folks. Suicide is never an answer...but hard not to contemplate when we are feeling all alone and unloved...yet, if we look around, there is far too much to live for to shorten our already short time here. Very emotional work...hope that you are feeling better now...life is not easy...but damn if it ain't one heck of an adventure...
Be safe, dear lady, be well,
Jim

hmm, a little dark this write is, but spoken in truth. many have walked down the same road. a new life begins with new thoughts and new thoughts are brought about by new desires and new desires need a vision to evolve. look for your new evolution in life and you will indeed be blessed. there is always a new way my friend. always.

A sinister and dark poem as a setting for abuse that one has not been able to break away from but death is not a release.
