The Question Why?

I am wondering around with my head in the clouds. My body,spirit and soul are trapped in a firery hell with no way to escape.It is dark and I am alone and scared.I am incased in my troubles.The light at the end of the tunnel is nowhere in sight.I am my worst enemy. My cries for help are never heard.The real me is never seen.The tears I have cried like a river of sadness.I so want my sorrows to fade away.My hopes and dreams are hiding in a place not wanting to be found.I have looked and looked but have yet to find the right roads to follow.My fears are over powering me and I have lost the strength to fight back.My eyes see what noone else can see.My ears hear what noone else can hear.My heart cries out in pain.I seem to be intangled in a web of darkness unable to see the light.I want to break free of the challenges that lie in front of me.I want to learn how to love but can't,I want to be loved but won't. If anyone happens to find the answer to the question why,please be sure to let me know. Colleen Marie Bono

I have revisited your poem. There is someone that you can turn God but also there has to be a person in your community that understands. I'll be praying that that person crosses your path. Sara
