Hanging on to the edge--believing


Poem Artwork

Lost

.

Digging for answers you fall in a hole

Lessons of nonsense bind your control

With consciousness your minds yearning

Struggling for existence with learning

Confusion deals its problems everyday

Concentration eluding you in everyway

Not believing in yourself is meaningless

Irrelevant thoughts bring mindlessness

Unwilling to focus to see things clearer

With critical thoughts hell draws nearer

the sorrow and guilt have a great toll

As dark fills your heart mind and soul

Lost and negative dealing with the pain

Thoughts for suicide revoke me insane

Aggression against myself the final cost

Sanitys in there somewhere

I am just....lost

This poem speaks of much despair. Whether it is caused externally or internally makes no difference, because it is a cry for help that apparently, is going unanswered.



Unfortunately, I have no answers either… No advice that will help except looking on the bright side of things.

I had a friend who overdosed on morphine in my college years. I remember her saying that she was awfully depressed and had stopped sharing and talking because she felt like she was bothering people. I attempted suicide while I was in the Army in Germany. I was 20. I'll never forget the Angel that came to me. Being in the Light changed me entirely. I was told that my Creator (the Most High) loved me and that His Love was well worth living for. A riveting insight that more than a few will relate to. Peace to you... rlc

I can relate to every word Kathleen...but keep looking...you will find your way....
Sometimes just getting away from the thoughts...distraction...instead of looking, looking, for the solution...
I am here if you ever want to talk...

Lost and then found; it is a terrible experience and one that we all go through. You are not alone, Kathleen, courage and look to the horizon for inspiration. Best wishes, John

Been there. Done that. Didn't like it. Repeated.
Good evidence that I am nuts.
