-Conundrum

My heart is hurt and in tatters

My gut in a continual knot

My spirit sad and depleted

 I truly feel l am losing the plot


My heart has cried a million tears

My soul now fragile and bruised

My being filled with hurt and disappointment

Without clarity, direction and totally confused


I need time to process what has happened

As l honestly don’t know what to do

I do believe changes are inconceivable 

I am uncertain and unclear what avenue to pursue

deb - this sounds like something very upsetting has happened to you. if so, i am sorry for what you're going through and hope you can figure out a way to feel better. at least you got to get it into a poem - sometimes that does seem to help, even if just a little bit...

Hi ilene….sometimes life hands you the unexpected. I have worked through it now and know how to deal with it so its all good. Ilene thankyou for caring that means a lot my lovely friend…..a kind or concerned word can make such a difference. I find it very therapeutic writing my feelings in poem form. I hope you are well!
