Array ( [sid] => 110326 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Abandoned [time] => 2005-11-24 18:28:10 [hometext] => No war zone, no natural disaster, just life. I had 6 funerals in 3 years, starting with my Dad, ending with my Mum and 1 was a suicide. Too much!!!!! [bodytext] => I feel so alone, a bit lost and afraid.
So many have left, though I wish they had stayed.
But what will wishing get me, when all is said and done?
What is the use of praying when the Gods will have their fun?
No wish can make the heavens fall or make the earth stand still.
No wish can change the past, or heal someone who’s ill.
Wishing will not help me now that all is said and done.
Too many have left me, too much has gone wrong.
For ever so long I have been in this rut.
Beginning to wonder if I’m all out of luck.
But somehow I must dig myself out of this hole.
Put back the pieces that make me up whole.
I’ve done it before, I can do it again.
I just have to remember where to begin.
Find my way back to the path I was shown.
I just wish that I didn’t feel so alone.

Okay now I am starting to fall in love with your writes. We sound like we have had some similiar rocky paths we've stumbled down. I lost my father at age 9 and my beautiful mother and best friend at 18. All my grandparents were deceased by the time I was 19. I used to be so friggen angry all the time. Hated everyone who had a big family. I love how at a young age you are already positive. It took many years of anger, therapy, love to get me to start healing from the pain of their lose. I loved these lines in your piece:

But somehow I must dig myself out of this hole.
Put back the pieces that make me up whole.
I've done it before, I can do it again.
I just have to remember where to begin.

Wow....you are brave, and remember you are never alone. Peace to you, Laura
