Array ( [sid] => 119218 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => This place [time] => 2006-04-29 19:48:15 [hometext] => I wrote this poem at a very emotional time in my life when life seemed to always disappoint me and wish I were somewhere else [bodytext] =>

THIS PLACE


In my mind I am in a different place, always feeling as if I don’t belong here.
I go through the motions of everyday life, still to find that nothing is clear.
The pain from the past continues to haunt me inside. I struggle to understand, why have I even tried ?
It’s raining in my heart, drowning my soul, flowing all around, I cry inside without a sound.
My children I love, even though they hurt and disappoint me time and time again, and the husband I have will never be truthful and fulfill my heart, when will it end ?
I keep going back and forth with my emotions, trying to find a place of devotion.
The weight of the world I constantly bear, the problems, the finances, these I wish I could share.
I keep telling myself I need to change my life and get out of this place, but
uncertainty and guilt fills all of my empty space.
I dream of a wonderful life with someone who can give me what I desire, a person to love me from within and set my feelings on fire.
I look at other people’s lives and the joy it brings, then I think of me and I wish I had wings.
I would fly away to another place where my love, hope and strength would not drain, to a place where I could be happy instead of insane.
Until I can change this place I am in and live the life I continually dream, things in this place will never really be what they seem........

I hate you're feeling this way, it's awful. I have been there recently too, but I am living proof, when you least expect it, life can hand you complete happiness. Sometimes it comes to you, sometimes you have to go get it, but it's there, and tomorrow is always another chance for it to happen. I enjoyed your words, they hit home. Just start with a smile, and don't give up. Nice job...I know it feels better to write it down...I hope it helped...I listened...good luck to you...

Not the easiest to read with this formatting, but the message comes through pretty well.

I have spent a lot of time wandering my own empty spaces and I know where this comes from. Time and writing it out can be an effective catharsis and will eventually dull the sharp edges.
