Confusion

A MOMENT OF RACING THOUGHTS

   In my world of confusion,I am stuck in a deep hole
of sadness.I have so much to be happy for yet my
mind spirals downward constantly.My sadness over
comes my ability to enjoy the many good things that
I have.Depression is a silent killer that will haunt you.
Some people just don't understand.My heart goes out
to others but has no feeling for myself.My thoughts 
and feelings are said through my words.Sometimes
anger steps in.I am often misunderstood and unable
to accept kindness from others.I have so much love
to give and expect none in return.As long as I am
alive I will do my best to help someone in need.
There is one question that no one will ever have an
answer for.What is normal?In this world of confusion,
I will always be stuck in a deep hole of sadness.

Robert Johnson Date: 4/28/2013 3:16:00 PM Walk away and say goodbye to that confusion that is a lie. That deep depression deep in your soul can't be allowed to take it's toll. A path that takes a different turn. Begins today with what we learn. That futile cloud can dissapate. Trust in God, it's not too late. Peace and Prayers. :) Hi Colleen, give me a comment. Thanks. :) Login to Reply

Poet Destroyer A Date: 4/17/2013 10:55:00 AM Good afternoon Colleen, much to search for in the hole of sadness... I wonder why you are always misunderstood.... you have been an uplifting person in my life these past few days. And don't worry about the answer to what is normal? I myself don't know what normal is... confused is my perfect state of mind right now... I guess I'm okay with this phase... always~ Linda Login to Reply
