Reflection

Many times a day I stop and look in the mirror, most of the time I think why am I here. The reflection that looks back at me seems lonely and scared,not remembering when the last time was anyone really cared. Lately I think alot about wanting to die,my life just keeps going down hill so why even try. When life gets overwhelming, I sometimes stop and pray, hoping that tomorrow it will be a better day. I get upset when things get to me as easy as they do, but I wouldn't wish for anyone to spend one day in my shoes. I can't wait until the day that reflection in the mirror, says all the pain was worth it and I'm glad that your still here. Colleen Marie Bono

You have a true gift for expressing real and deep emotions through your writing. The pain is felt through your words by the reader. I do hope things are going better for you and that soon we can see some happy writes from you. I can imagine how uplifting they would be when expressed with such depth. Blessings from Lolita
