String of Sorrows

To Die I numb my brain to ease the pain The world's is mad...a new insane Compassion's seen with such disdain The truth now seems so very plain To die would be considered gain *********************************** Alone Alone, alone...always alone The pain I feel cannot be known This heart of flesh has turned to stone Alone, alone...I am alone Alone, alone...always alone My dreams on wistful wings have flown Depression has usurped my throne Alone, alone...I am alone Alone, alone...always alone The wind gives voice to primal moan This world no empathy has shown I'll live, I'll die, and rest...alone **********************************

I felt deep sorrow and pain as I read your poem. Physical pain is one thing, but getting no compassion or empathy is worse. Appreciate the emotional intesity of your words, hugs, Sara

Thank you, Sara. I've been going through some challenges. I wrote these a while back, but decided to post them now. I'm visiting my daughter in Cyprus, so... that's a welcome change of scenery. Blessings

Oh, my - the ever-possible Soup dilemma, is it fiction or fact? I know I have felt this way twice in my life. Shifting gears, I've seen you here and there, waved at you everywhere but you didn't know I was happy to see you. I'm glad to have finally made it to your space. So many peps to read. I always loved reading your poems and this is no exception. Are you still teaching? Just you & your daughter? Am I too nosy? I'll just say, poetry wise, you deliver, you deliver. Hugs, CayCay

Hi, dear. I'm often lonely. My husband travels a lot for work. It gets me down, but... nothing I can do about it, even when my mental health suffers. The state of the world also gets me down, so no... not fiction. Taking it one day at a time, and trying to survive. I'm visiting my daughter in Cyprus... so that's bringing me joy. Big hugs and thanks for the visit.
