For T., who's dealing with frustrations. Have the same ones - keep her and I in your prayers.
Why does God allow
trial? To make me
stronger? How, in my
weakness, am I strong?
Don't have the strength of
Atlas; legs wobbly;
spine b.ent; shoulders, worn
o u t rubber bands. Can
only shoulder so
much before I fold
under the strain of
taking on the world.
Or Is it to learn
compassion? How much
more do I have to
give? Can't give any
more - have nothing, left.
If I could, I would,
but can't afford what
I need, let alone
take care of others.
Tired, Lord, weary of
everything - need a
break before I b/reak .... .. ....
Compassion and love require no earthly goods. We are each, capable of all things that possess qualities of inherent great good. All other things matter little more than, tattered wool. You certainly know how to construct beautiful poetic emotion. Jon Michael Willey
Sometimes when we feel we can't take any more..a breakthrough is around the corner..I'm hoping for this too. You express your feelings so honestly..and so poetically...Love, Diana.
again ditto Karla, when i reached point break twenty years back I actually got stronger, haven't had a depressed day since, oh I feel bad at times this is normal but depression is a monster I can't afford. It takes a long time to crawl from the bottom, so I decided I wasn't going back there. I finally realized where my happiness came from, not from things being good but from my ability to handle my screwed up life effectively. hugs
These are thoughts that I can really understand; I have always been the "Atlas" kind of person. :-) I'm not carrying it all anymore, something's changed for good.

Take care sweet lady,things will get better..your in my prayers...Hugssss ,love to you Karla
That break is hopefully just around the corner. You never know. And who can fail to understand these feelings? Only a rock. Cheers for expression to its fullest.
Hang in there, Karla. I think we all have days like this from time to time...but rest assured in the fact that things DO turn around and better days are on the horizon!
Gosh, you've got a fan club, girl! Me? I like the yoke. It's my favorite part in all the bible. I hope you find peace and rest. And God bless T, whoever that is. Hope things go well soon. --Charlie
Taking a break before you break, it is good medicine..trust me, I just did that last week, and I feel so rejuvenated and refreshed...Just go for a walk, breath in the fresh positive healing energy of the air and know that you are cared about and loved very much by many people.
You are a very special person, and always remember that...
Peace, love, and light,

On the road up to Calvary, on via de la Rosa, many tried to carry the cross Jesus had to bear, it was eventually to heavy for all of them, though friends he had, just like you, who will pray for you!

What I like about your poetry, is its honesty; almost everyday that things go wrong or I have pain, I ask the same thing, but I never write about it or make a poem of it. This is much better medicine the way you do it. You put the stuff that's in all our minds into words and you do it short! What a gift to others. And let's hope this prayer brings some healing power into yours and your friends lives.
PS: the only other thing I do is when I'm about to hit a B/Point I usually roll off into one of my other "1/2 dozen" comedy routines or characters I do - (with only the cats for audience) but then I DO LIVE ALONE!
Oh, Karla. Is there anything at all that I can do? You are not going to break, honey -- are so much stronger than you feel right now --, but for you to be hurting like this. . .only words thar are coming to me are unprintable. SO unfair. You g i v e so much. Karma has to be on your side!! Why Karla and Karma are so close!!:)!!
More soon. (((((((((( L o v e . y o u )))))))) Pea Hooadmiresandrespectsandadoresyoo
I know these feelings. When I don't have the money to help out, which is frequent, I try to give my time. But when even my spirit is poor, I just let God carry me. Great write. Liz
I am sorry that your world seems dark and dreary right now but the sun will shine soon sweet Karla, ake it easy and ask God Almighty for the strength and to guide you along, eveerything will be fine dear. I'll keep you in my prayers and my heart.
Karla, I don't know who T is and actually I don't really know YOU, but I do know "of you" and the you I know has made a difference in my life. While each of us wishes for more out of life, I am hoping knowing you make a difference in another person's life is enough to make you want to keep being YOU, even through the hardship of life.
Dear karla, you are also included in my daily prayers so stay strong and know that you are not alone. In gratitude forever for your inspiration, encouragement,ability to share without hesitation. Love and < < < <HUGS>>> Mikii
I know these feelings, too well; but I've always found that, like the tide, they ebb and flow, alternating bad days with not so bad with downright good ones. Hang tough, my friend, and know that better days lie just ahead. Rebecca
Hey Karla! C'mon my friend, shake off that kind of thinking. Like my namesake said, we've got you in our prayers. So hang tough. It's not your time until the Lord says it is.
I learned from my mentor that struggles and trials don't come to teach us something but that they come because we've been taught already. Meaning they are like teasers to see what we really are made of...Hang in there, and T, this too shall pass
So sorry that things don't seem to be going your way right now, Karla. But they say that the darkest day is just before the dawn. I hope you are soon blessed with so many blessings that you don't have room to contain all of them...
