Alone In the Cold

like some junkie on the side of the road hiding in the shadows alone in the cold i suspire the same momentary relapses cravings solitary weakness pleas on my knees downcast eyes swelling with the voids of life in trails of droplets falling off tips too weak in mind body spirit to push the needle in the weight of thoughts beneath the sighs of darkness as i close my eyes not knowing if it's the last time they will be open (november is diabetes awareness month)

I can feel your pain and loneliness in this poem, Sandy. It is always hurts me to see friends suffering in any way, my thoughts are with you my dear friend. Hugs, John

Thank you Anne-Lise...sometimes i have my down days...it helps to write it out....i really wish i could write it out of me totally but i know i can't... it's the painful days that bring me down, when i feel helpless because walking is painful, and then i flashback to my grandmother without legs....hugs my sweet friend <3

So sad Sandy, I can only imagine what it is like to have diabetes, I know chronic fatigue and chronic lung problems, but can't imagine piercing my body 6 times a day, keep your spirits up!

Chronic is chronic John, so you understand more than most what it's like to fight something that is unseen but weakens you... thank you for your kindness, the shots aren't getting to me yet, it's the stupid leg cramps that bring you to your knees when you try and do simple things like walk...or go up steps... i got this.... hugs :)

The scene you create with your words is dark, dreary and lonely. It is painted in shades of ashen gray with hues of shadows and this makes me sad. Just the thought, that many including you have to fight this evil disease is heartbreaking. Your poem is deep and powerful in its message and perfect to bring awareness to this.
