When Did Life....

Sometimes we all have a bad day....

When did life get so complicated?

 

There are days that I wish

That it would all go away

Things don’t always

Appear to be what they seem

 

The complexity of life

The endurance of the heart and soul

The deep seated reality

What is it all really?

 

An extension of the mind, of one’s self

To think that I am worthy enough

Though I try to see

The brighter side of it all

 

Sometimes it doesn’t work out

I cry, I worry and I feel like it doesn’t matter

Whatever I do to make it right

Goes to the wayside

 

Like I am in a black abyss

With no way out

No bright light shining

The darker side takes over…

 

And it makes me forget

What it is I am fighting for

My self, my sanity

The way I perceive life

 

Nothing matters

But the pain I feel inside

The hopelessness, the fear

That nothing will ever be the same

Sometimes we all have bad days and I am no exception...though I very seldom write about it. Please don't worry, I'll be fine. AT

Amanda,

I'm not worried because I know your inner light will shine through :)

I often have these days, and they are a struggle to come out of...
but not impossible. Just hold tight while you push through the mud and
the darkness and back into light... which you will.

It really doesn't seem like it should be so complicated, does it?

It isn't....

we are.

Peace and love dear friend,

I'll see you in a minute... light in hand!

not worried, just glad you got it out.

the frustration of finding purpose, and making sense of discombobulation are quite possibly 2 of the msot difficults obstacles we'll face.. well besides LOVE.. ewww.. yuck! hahaha..

smile girl, even on the bad days, like i said i'm glad you got it out, got the release because it is only after that we can feel better..

thhanx for sharing because there's always something to be learned

much love n respect

Ach, tis not uncommon to feel like this. In fact I suspect it is within the normal range of any normal human being. To walk around in a state of ecstasy would be insane as there is much in life in general and in each of our lives in particular to gainsay ecstasy. Equally not to have feels of either ecstasy at least sometimes and their opposite, at least sometimes might be the mark of a drab psychopathy. So a bit of gloom seems perfectly normaly. I suppose the problem is when it settles on us and refuses to budge. And how we respond to it. Perhaps gloom is nature's prompt for us to change our circumstances somehow. I suppose working out how is the challenge. Ach, I think too much! But your poem IS thought provoking!

oh! This is very emotional! And I agree that everyone of us often gets through situations like this! :(
And I'm sure you will come out of this darkness and that too very soon.. :)
Poem is..great! Amazing indeed...like always!

"The hopelessness, the fear
That nothing will ever be the same"- This is beautifully sad and full of sorrow....These ending lines for me out stands the entire write..So deep and so full of sadness !!! :(

[Blake Q Hatfield]

On those bad days we sometimes loose sight of the good times, and those that may be. A nice poetic representation of that feeling!

*hugs* Sounds like we're in the same boat! Let's not go down with the ship though, kay? I'm here if you ever need to chat, you are an absolute star!
This is a very bold and poignant poem, full of hurt and raw feelings. It's purposefully written and really makes you feel what you're feeling, or at least, it probably does to those who aren't feeling it already! Very shattering. Thanks for sharing this, just keep writing through your sadness, let it all out!

The emotion and sorrow is on display in a very powerful way through this writing

You have done a wonderful job of presenting emotions that most of us have felt at one time or another

Exceptional write�

The more you write� the more things turn out right
