Shane Cooper Poet Etheree

So Little Hope

So
Lonely
And confused,
My thoughts haunted.
Demons stalk my dreams
Bringing endless nightmares
With no respite, end, or peace.
Alone, no escape can be found
From the fears that flood my waking mind.
 A black despair consumes my soul and heart.

Connie Marcum Wong June 19, 2015 at 4:16 AM I can relate to this. I have these kinds of nightmares where I wake up screaming. I haven't found the cause but it sure shakes me up. Your last line sums it up so well! Cheers, Connie Shane Cooper July 28, 2015 at 3:15 AM It is so strange Connie, one moment all seems well and then like a quickly rising tide you are submerged in such deep dispair. iT NEVER ENDS. But poetry helps and the friends I have made here help a lot to. Thanks for the visit Connie. Love Shane xxx

Allan Koven May 31, 2015 at 4:20 PM Depression is not for the weak. It debilitates and sucks the joy out of life. When you talk about being alone, perhaps that is the way out, the open hatch, the light shining as a soft beacon beckoning you to move toward people. Tell me.

Kp Nunez May 29, 2015 at 6:49 AM I know many will say it's not enough, but I choose to say it Shane. God loves you. In His mysterious He' ll show and may have been showing already. hugs! Kim Shane Cooper May 29, 2015 at 7:54 AM I appreciate you thoughts Kim and the hug means more than any words but alas I do not believe in divinities so his love would be for nought in my case, the hug is worth a hundred fold though. My love to you for caring Shane xxx

Jan Allison May 22, 2015 at 10:29 AM This is so deep and sad Shane - I know many suffer from depression and I imagine this is how they feel:-( Hugs Jan xx Shane Cooper May 29, 2015 at 4:31 AM Dear little Jan it is how i feel every waking and sleeping moment. It consumes me it is relentless in its subjugation of my soul. It devours friendships leaving only pale broken bones in it's wake. this is my life,

Emile Pinet May 22, 2015 at 8:35 AM Your feelings surface and carry the emotional force behind your words. A touching and heartfelt description of failure and defeat mired in the bog of depression. Emile #7 Shane Cooper May 29, 2015 at 4:25 AM Thanks for visiting Emile, I think the word BOG is a very apt way of describing depression, it is something that once you step into it is almost impossible to step out. love Shane
