Fragile Spirit

Loneliness casts vague shadows, gray mist clouds my mind. Confused, my heart follows, a path, that is undefined. Can I see what is in front of me? Or do I see what is not there? Are my decisions based on reality, or am I totally unaware? Sadness dwells within my lonely heart, wrapped in memories of the past. So entwined, they refuse to part, hiding in the darkness they cast Feelings, a wary enemy to battle. I pray inner strength will remain Though I am weary, my spirit fragile, its my freedom that I fight to retain. Through the dark, I struggle on, seeking the light of tomorrow. Will I still be standing at dawn, or fall into the shadows of sorrow?

You've lost focus, on this one. If you plan on going forward, you got to quit looking back.

I've been in that dark place, so I feel your loneliness, the feeling of being lost. Keep moving and things will brighten up for you, Sandra.

What a sad state of affairs , but well explained. Interestingly, I’ve encountered quite a number of similarly sad/hopeless situations on PS recent new poems. Could it be the effect of January blues or some such ? Anyway, hopefully your words aren’t true to life but merely a figment of your poetic imagination. Well written lines perfectly describing the mood.
