Blase' Life

I wake up each day
without purpose.
I am neither here nor
there.
I can't cry anymore,
I can't smile anymore.
I have a blank stare
and my demeanor is 
blase'.
A big mase of skin and
bones with no direction.
My dreams of a better
existence has become
a series of nightmares.

Congratulations on your POTD, Alexis. Enjoy your day of recognition. We've missed you and your poetry, my friend. I think most of us go through what you are describing, ever so often. Get active here and get some smiling faces to help you turn this around, my friend. Smiles ~ Blessings Bill

Dear alexis, this is such a sincere and poignant write, on how you feel within, when darkness envelopes your mind and soul, i think there are many that go through these challenges and to be able to express them in a seamless manner with no ambiguity is a brave and strong thing to do. I felt the depth of this poem, and im here sending you light. Congratulations on receiving also potd. Amazing how our deepest emotions sometimes get awarded when expressed.

Hi Alexis, sharing our feelings with others helps to lessen some of the weight we have to carry. There are many problems which take their toll on us, and yet we must not throw the towel in without a fight. May people find the will to cope and find a purpose in life. ~ Congratulations on p.o.t.d. honour my friend. // paul

Hi Everyone, I want to thank you all for stopping by to congratulate me for getting the p.o.t.d. I appreciate your concerns as well. I don't suffer from depression but I have close family members that do. I am in funk right now but I will be alright with time. In this life you will have good and bad days, it's unrealistic to think every day you will be happy. However attitude is everything and I'm optimistic this will pass. Getting this honor did uplift my day. Have a wonderful day -Alexis

Alexis I am SO SO proud of you for posting this poem, so many folk suffer depression in silence, good for you for expressing your feelings so eloquently. Let's hope brighter days are ahead and many congrats on POTD. I am lucky I don't suffer from depression but I know many that do, hence the reason I try and make folk smile with my silly poems!

Dear Alexis, Your poem's raw honesty captures the essence of inner turmoil and aimlessness. I loved how your words vividly depict emotional numbness and the struggle to find meaning. It's a powerful point that points to the fragility of human existence. Congratulations on getting POTD; your voice deserves recognition for its authenticity and depth. - Blessings, Daniel

You describe a depressive episode so well here Alexis, I think a lot more of us can relate to this condition than we care to say, I honestly hope this flare up of hopelessness settles down soon, congratulations on a brutally honest and deserving POTD, cheers David
