Obscurity

Obscurity

Surrounded by dark obscurity
I look up into the abyss
There I see the nothingness of my life
Cries just echo back and forth
There is no one to answer
Nothing moves through the blackness
I am all alone in my suffering
Living a life not of my choice
Living a life of obscurity

Oh, Rob, it is indeed a dark place when one has to look up to see the abyss! So well written here...But we are never alone even though it feels that way...and we may not choose it...but we are still not completely alone...even in our suffering ...though it feels it like it...*tear* Very heart felt...and deeply touching Rob....big hugs, love ya deb ...Keep writing!! :)
