Falling Into Lifes Sad Pit

I'm teetering along the edge Of a long and deep sharp ledge One more push and I will drop Can someone please help me stop The pain everyday that follows Me into more bad tomorrows That will not leave me alone I would like to just be shown What it's like to wear a smile It has been too long a while Since my days were filled with joy Thinking fates out to destroy Every ounce of happiness Until there is nothing left To live for and dream about I just want to scream and shout Take away all the dark clouds Giving me the love allowed That I see looking so grand I want to hold someones hand Feeling the soft warm rush That makes my whole body gush With sensations never felt Because life has always dealt A hand so unbearable Days were too unlivable For enjoying anything My heart never got to sing Any happy and fun tunes Darkness and a lot of gloom Is all I will ever feel This world will never reveal Any goodness night or day I will just crawl up and stay Tightly wrapped up in a ball Until it's my time to fall Into a nice peaceful slumber My lonely life finally over

I can relate to this completely, Robin. I know exactly where you are coming from in this one, because I grew up feeling the same way about my life. You perfectly described those dark and lonesome feelings that just will not go away. A deeply emotional poem that I am going to add to my favorites! :)

OI! Robin, I will help you move from the edge... You sure know how to compel one long dropping soul poem. I can't not imagine you with such sadness and loneliness. A very deep, and edgy poem. The way you curved the imagery, and piled the sadness of an unborn fetus, waiting that is all.... Enjoyed... Always a FAN Linda

I also hope this piece is fictional; I hate to hear that my friend's are hurting. I can also relate to every single verse you wrote; I understand these feelings completely. Nothing but love and hugs to you, Sweet Pea <3

Such a sad poem coming from you dear robin. I hope this write is purely fictional. I've heard it said that if we don't live on the edge we are taking up entirely to much space. I've always taken it to mean that we should always live life to the fullest. So if there is some truth to this poem I would tell you to find things you enjoy doing and get out and do them. And sometimes try something exciting (not terrifying) that you have never done before. Please enjoy life my dear.

Robin, I wish the pain was the easiest pain to stop... Sometimes hiding from the world, is the way peeps deal with the unbearable life when standing on the ledge. I'll never understand how life turns from happy to sad in split seconds... Great deep write... Scary is ending... Hugs.. And good night.. Linda
