Just...Be

Confusion, anger, and so much pain
Every day silent tears I cry in vain.

I want to be whole again.
I want to feel my life begin.

I feel like all is lost. 
Is this anguish my cost?

Will I ever be whole?
Can anyone fix this fractured soul?

For now I will cry my silent tears.
For now I will try to squash ALL my fears.

There are way way too many.
Burdens and sorrows are a sea of plenty.

Do you see the way out for me?
No? I thought not, so I will just.....be.

I find myself here in this poem. Emotions exposed, and needing to vent. It is times like these my friends are so special. We talk on the phone, and do a lot of praying. I have you in my prayers.....We all have problems in this sea of life, God provides a boat for us, but sometimes we try to swim on our own, and we can't handle the waves. always, Christy

Kristy - I probably understand this poem better than most - I've felt that way in the past and it led me to drugs which led me to Prison which learned me that things back then weren't as bad as I thought they were back then - Seek the happiness within because in the end it is you and your soul that will pay the price - God Bless, mj
