where is the beauty i am supposed to see i can't find it anywhere when all i see is ugly
where is the peace i am supposed to find i can't find it anywhere i can't see it in mankind
where is the joy i am supposed to know i can't find it anywhere i wonder, where did it go
where is the color in my corner of the world i can't find it anywhere except shades of blue unfurled
where are the miracles i am supposed to have i can't find them anywhere can i buy them as a salve
where are the answers to my heartfelt, angry prayers i can't find them anywhere i wonder if God hears...or cares

And yet, even when fighting this terrible darkness, you have within you a fountain of light to share with all those that you so lovingly, so sweetly support and encourage. Bless you, my sweet friend. My prayers and thoughts, and hope that the darkness will be dispersed soon, are with you. **tears**

As someone who has suffered from depression for a long time, I know how this feels. The good days are indeed good, but the bad ones are hell on wheels!
Hang in there.
Great, expressive write, Karla.

This is the depths of depression Kartla. An awful place to be because all we do is feel negative about everything and hopeless. Best to do everything one can to stay out of it, no matter how hard it is.I knoe I've been there...
