Waiting Alone

Detained within a spirit of dreams
Her heart peers through the spaces
Longing for the freedom she sees
Beyond the comfort of her bars

Each tear, wet with the hope of liberty
Betrays her stoic façade
Knowing well, those close
shall see this mixture of strength and tears

Why do some live in self forged dreams
Imprisoned by masks, held by chains
Dying behind an opaque veneer of truth
and unsure certainty

Why do some live in a nightmarish land
distilled only through medication
Crying for the comforting touch
Of tormented messianic hands

Why do I live, knowing my tomorrows
Offer nothing more than faded roses
And candlelight dinners
Waiting alone


**I am not experiencing this depression in my life at this moment. I keep it in the past... for now.**

there is no tomorrow
Tomorrow is but a time concept
where arrows kill hope
leaving but sorrow.

Depession is such a difficult thing to write about because it is so very personal. Know that you're not alone, dear; most of us "creative" types suffer the same fate.

Tomorrow is no more than a succession of todays, and if today you're "on top", then sobeit likewise the day after! It's good to live one day at a time and not let either the past's perceived "failures" or our fears for tomorrow rob us of living THIS day fully. And yet the honest ability to assess the things that hold us is healing in itself, and your amazing capacity for this in your writing, Lori, is healing more than yourself... we are all touched deeply, I am sure, and your words are likewise balm to our souls too. Thank you for sharing this. KB

I see much more to you then pessimism. I see a flickering light that needs the stimulating flames of life. You will rise to the top of the world someday. Mark my words. Bill Murray
