Endless Search

Another tiresome, effort filled night My mind analyzing at the wrong time When sleep is needed to be right Nothing may make sense in this rhyme Confusion takes hold, questions whirl Trying to survive things big and small Darkness settles in as doubts uncurl Longing returns to re-build the wall Safety is something I always maintain Survival will forever dominate Confidence in things can quickly wane With return to reliance of my own traits If only things could not hurt so deep Re-playing hurts from yesterdays When the pain continues to slowly seep On the endless search in life for new ways Heidi Sands 10/31/17

Sometimes pain is the only thing that reminds us we are alive... but all emotions are temporary.. A sad deep write..

Heidi, I enjoyed your poem. I think there are times when we all want to build walls around ourselves to protect us from the outside world, but life is quite lonely if you do. John
