The Saddest Poem Written

No one to talk to 
No one to go see
Not even a saleman 
To come visit me.

Don't hear from my children
Don't hear from my ex
My life is so empty
My life is a wreck.

I try to look happy
I try to seem gay
But long empty hours 
Encompass my day

My life is just mem'ries
Of days long gone by
My head in my pillow
To muffle my cry

I seem apathetic
I seem without heart
How can I continue
To live life apart.

I feel segregated
Alone on the page
I feel oh so lonely 
Because of my age.

My mind is still active
My body is strong
But living alone
Is living too long

I sit here and ponder
My heart full of strife
Is owning 3 cats 
A reason for life?

Yes, the cat and yourself are more than enough reasons to get up each morning though very difficult at times. Hope tis poem is only fictional for you my friend. But many can relate to this. Very sad but well penned. Depression weakens and destroys till there's nothing left but a shell of whom we were once.Need to beat it. With God we're never alone if we have faith.Have to keep positive, everything starts with our thinking, outlook about life. Best wishes!Love peace and light ! ;) xxxx D.

heartbreaking poem that I guess a lot of people can relate to but here on soup you are never alone:-) hugs jan xxx my sister lives alone and has 3 cats - she would say yes they are the reason to get up in the morning - she suffers from depression too.
