The Saddest Poem Written

No one to talk to No one to go see Not even a saleman To come visit me. Don't hear from my children Don't hear from my ex My life is so empty My life is a wreck. I try to look happy I try to seem gay But long empty hours Encompass my day My life is just mem'ries Of days long gone by My head in my pillow To muffle my cry I seem apathetic I seem without heart How can I continue To live life apart. I feel segregated Alone on the page I feel oh so lonely Because of my age. My mind is still active My body is strong But living alone Is living too long I sit here and ponder My heart full of strife Is owning 3 cats A reason for life?

Yes, the cat and yourself are more than enough reasons to get up each morning though very difficult at times. Hope tis poem is only fictional for you my friend. But many can relate to this. Very sad but well penned. Depression weakens and destroys till there's nothing left but a shell of whom we were once.Need to beat it. With God we're never alone if we have faith.Have to keep positive, everything starts with our thinking, outlook about life. Best wishes!Love peace and light ! ;) xxxx D.

heartbreaking poem that I guess a lot of people can relate to but here on soup you are never alone:-) hugs jan xxx my sister lives alone and has 3 cats - she would say yes they are the reason to get up in the morning - she suffers from depression too.
