cry heard from the abyss

cry heard from the abyss

A Poem by annie lee
"

spiritual, mental anguish and illness damn some to the abyss

"

I want to cease to be.

I do not want pity.

I do not want concern.

I screwed this up

And I have to pay.

 

Other people seem able to do it,

seem to have few problems.

Other people love each other,

cherish, nurture, care, give.

 

I can find no skills to bridge the space

that lies between me and all the world.

I have no tools to build them.

I have no gifts to give.

I only take up space.

 

I want to cease to be.

Tough to read, so many feel this, I know my sister felt this way, fortunately most of us tough it out, or unfortunately, I guess, depends on what color your mood is on that day. We all have a gift to give even in our own anguish, thanks for sharing this one annie.

Your pen is bridge that walks you over to where the skies are blue and the problems, few. Keep writing dear poet. It is lovely to hear your views.
