Helplessness

Staring out at nothing
Feeling blank, cold, crippled physically and emotionally.
Hoping for a brighter tommorrow
Rest is not peaceful if at all
Pain in heart, joints, hands and toes
Everywhere pain
Torn between living and existing
Pain becomes an obsession to control
Ceaseless torment in soul.

Doris I feel your pain I am a carer for my wife and she is constantly in pain too. When things get really bad we have to sit and pray and thank God for his mercies. God Bless will remember you in my prayers Doris. Leon
