Alone

 

Sadness holds me-

the weight of the world

is on me-

i'm trapped.

what is wrong with me-

why can't i

find happiness-

i'm broken.

i feel empty-

i see nothing

special about myself-

i'm torn.

where is the time

for me-

where is the love

of my life-

i'm lost.

who cares

anyway-

no one but

myself-

i'm alone.

My arms are open to hold you
wanting to hold you,
let me take the weight off your shoulders.

Its OK to be a little broken
I'm the mirror you look into
Now turn yourself around, look into another
One thats whole, seeing a new soul of happiness.

like the desert flowers
these storm clouds that follow you
full of rain, holding your tears
let them nourish, cleansing you.

The love of your life is here
be patient, don't be in a hurry
among all the desert flowers
he will be found.

No longer alone, you will smile
Once again.

(((Hugs)))

I like how your poems always tell a good story. This one is sort of a tragedy. I'm sorry you feel this way, and I can't really say I haven't felt this way either. You are definitely not alone.

I love you Sheila...you are a poet after all...we are the only ones who understand each other...

Nicely evoked...you had me ready to get in my car to invite you to coffee.

Well written...keep putting it on paper...

All the best

good work..just touched all kinds of people that love you through your work!!

Well, trust me when I say you're not alone in your feelings. As I surf the sites of other writers on the net, I find that we are indeed not alone. Not much consolation as you're sitting solo in front of a warm fireplace with a chilled martini I know, but maybe its a start. Nice write.

You are never alone! I'm sorry you feel this way, I feel this way myself a lot of the time. It's such a scary place you be and you've described it exactly as it is. I'm sorry for your pain. Sometimes, it just hurts. Just know you aren't alone!

Thank you for the sweet and kind review. :) I really appreciate it.

[Beautifully Tragic xPoe..]

I suffer from both depression and bipolar disorder. Sometimes I have days with both so I know the feeling described in this poem. I use writing to help me and it hasnt let me down.


Great Write

[Kathy07]

Nicely done, and unfortunately I can relate to it all!!! LAUGH!
I like the short lines, as it reflects the mood of aloneness. Great work!

Well, as someone who has suffered a battle with depression, I can more than relate to this..so I know it not only wasn't easy to write, but to share with everyone and anyone was even harder--but thank you. It's a beautiful, albeit sad poem, but it shows off your talent and made me feel less alone. ;)

[The New York Poet]

Very sad; I know that a lot of people (myself included) can relate to this. Good work!
