End of the Rope

You’re at the end of the rope,The grip is becoming weak.You have tried to make it work.Now you’re swimming up a creek. Life has really gotten you down,Sometimes wondering what its worth.You lie in your bed and question,Why you are on this freaking Earth? You’re walking through another day,Making every attempt not to fall.Often times going through the motions,Not wanting… Continue reading End of the Rope

Emotional Bottle

Laughing on the outside,Inside filled with tears.Trying not to let them show,Bottling them up for years. Smiling for the world to see,But a sadness fills your heart.Refusing to let anyone see,That you can fall apart. Going through your life,Acting like you are fine.Watching as your world.Slowly begins to decline. 08/17/04

Depression

Sometimes I struggle with feelings of depression,Something closing in on me like an oppression.This feeling is so dark, lonely, and cold,Leaving me barren, dry, not a good sight to behold. The every day struggles are weighing me down.When I tell others my worries, on me, they frown.I don’t know where to turn there’s no where… Continue reading Depression

Anger

I have all of this anger deep inside…It torments me day in and day out… Choking the life out of my body… day by day….hour by hour…. Weaker with every breath I take….My screams become silent…. My cries for help no longer heard…Alone….angry…..dying.

Death of the Poet 

A heart of iceOh, so numbTo indifferenceIt has succumb Frozen, bitterVoid of emotionAll hope has been castIn the depths of the ocean The minds eye can seeThe blinders have liftedMemories of youHave slowly drifted The tears cease to fallA sad song endsLet the poet dieThe final word has been penned. 02/24/05
