A Poem? Maybe?

A Poem? Maybe?

Hurt, Lost, Broken

My life is in tatters, my dreams have crumbled around me

I had the life, i had it all

How did i fail

How did i fall

Cruising through life, using everything i could

To keep myself moving

To keep myself high

The ups are fantastic, the best place to be

Altho i could never see the disease

The illness taking over me

No treatment

No plan

No help

Just searching for the high that evaded me

Using this drug and that

To maintain that happy place

When in reality

I was just wasting space

Broken and tired

My life in ruins

How stupid of me to believe

That i was as fantastic as i could be

Tortured now, by the memories

The lows, so low some will never know

How quickly life changes

When everything crumbles and falls in a heap

Now i am lonely

Now i am unloved

Now i have no peace

No place

No love from the one i hurt so much

I still miss her dearly

And altho i know we will never be

I can always hope it untrue

A dream to awaken from

Faith only blames me

Treatment only dulls me

Pain is all i feel

Hate of myself is all i can think

Why did i not notice

How could i not see

Why did this happen

Unanswered questions just for me

The hardest part of it all

Is knowing i will never get to say goodbye

To those who were closest to me

All hope is lost

No freedom for me

Forever trapped in this hellhole

I hope not for an eternity

Thank you

Sorry i just needed to write

Kato, I liked your poem too though was long, it's felt sensitive.
My dog died over a month ago, I had this dream on my family a few days ago and haven't been able to stop crying since then. I keep on feeling him cuddling up to me.
Your poem reminded me what's it's like, Thankyou.
You able to write how you feel. That's so good.

The expression of feelings that you are writing to us is a pure and original flow of how you are starting to see yourself. It's like....little green shoots of pride in yourself
It makes me feel special about myself because I am contributing a little in your path.

Re: A Poem? Maybe?

the time has come

to awaken, the memories

of my mistakes, and the path i have taken

i have come far but still much to do

before i can sense myself as true

so many thoughts to be broken

so many needs to be spoken

if only it was so easy to be free

no longer trapped by the horrors that haunt me

a beacon of light a sense of direction

a path so difficult, it requires patience and attention

but the hope is their, and the reason

something to aim for, something pure

i will always hope for forgivness

i will always hope for the chances

i will always hope for happiness

i will always hope for no more sadness

i will always hope for the better

i wll always hope for hope itself

Thank you

Kato,

Reminded me of that song ....that Cat Stevens song. ...I listen to the wind, to the wind of my soul.....
( or I listen to the bird to the bird of my soul )
