Some Days

Some days I can't pull through
Some days I feel like giving up
My thoughts
My feelings
Writing is my only escape
My only outlet
Is the only thing that hears me
That understands me
I scream silently 
I cry to myself
The pain lasts years
The reality lasts a lifetime
Its hard to pull it together
I have to be strong
For the family that I am raising
Show them strength
But how can I do that 
When I feel like I have no strength left
Show them courage
Show them, what I am not right now
I have to
I need to
They believe in me
I want to break free 
From this anger
From this pain
From this hurt
This hurt is all I know
That I don't know which way to go
I'm scared to move forward
What if I fall and loss control
Who will then make me whole??

here I am once again Skylisha, Congratulations on your win. I'm finally making time to read every entry, intended for me in Shadow's Hamilton depression contest. It was a tough fight, however at the end I prayed, and asked to take over and he did. WOW, it was what I call a miracle. Thanks for lifting my day with this poem... Love LINDA
