Bent But Not Quite Broken

I wish things could be different Most Days I feel like I got nothing left I try to be where I'm most needed but I don't really know where that is Days go by with no one to talk to I feel like I'm drowning but no one hears me cry I long for better days, in countless ways but it feels like it's all just slipping away My heart aches, damn near breaks I'm bent but not quite broken I wish that I could awaken From this utter madness and crushing sadness It seems like there's no end in sight to this loneliness inside I don't know if I can make it I'm going through the motions Trying to find my way back to the light

This could have been my dear sister writing the poem. I feel her pain knowing I live too far to at least be her company. I hope these are only words and that you are not spending your days alone. Great writing

HI Jennifer, Your poem feels like what I am going through during this Virus. Like many staying home by myself is difficult. I think a good title for your poem would be ... Isolation. Cal Bambi ... Poetry Hugs
