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 Date: 6/19/2015 4:16:00 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 Login to Reply Shane Cooper Date: 7/28/2015 3:15:00 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 Date: 5/31/2015 4:20:00 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. Login to Reply

Kim Login to Reply Shane Cooper Date: 5/29/2015 7:54:00 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

Emile Pinet Date: 5/22/2015 8:35:00 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 Login to Reply Shane Cooper Date: 5/29/2015 4:25:00 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
