Broken

No comfort today even my walk outside did nothing to dispel the roiling clouds of discontent (helplessness) within my mind The fight within my spirit is gone- broken- run away- hiding too much, too long the breaking point-silent as falling snow weeping endlessly - helplessly is all that follows Will I lay here forever weeping in madness or will my strength return once the river of tears has run it’s course?

I think "Broken" is the theme of my life. We are of similar emotional feeling

Be sure and let the mourning run it course, for there is healing in it's wings, always. Sincerely Moses

Keep the faith, Trudy. I have been in the state you describe, but we do find our strength again. Your spirit will return; I'm certain of it. And you'll be in my prayers. Love, Carolyn

You have expressed so eloquently those feelings of despair that seem to have no end....and yet, somehow that veil of darkness will lift eventually, and the sun will shine again.... I hope it does quickly for you, if this comes from your heart today. ~ Love, Carrie
