'tripping'

Bewilderment all around
Lost in places
Never seen or felt before

Is it best just to forget?
Tripping over issues
You can’t resolve

I don’t like this phase
Where happiness 
Scatter

As if it knows heartache
Is around the corner
Tripping over loneliness

That invisible rope

Yet, 
I feel that proverbial space
I’ve been here before
I can deal with this…

On my own is not so bad
It is better to be on my own

Then with someone that 
Makes me feel alone

Welcome back, dear Wilma! You really have a way of reaching into the readers' hearts. Most of us have endured similar pain. Those last three lines ring so true! Don't let anyone steal your happiness. Being alone IS better than being with someone who doesn't appreciate you. Sending you hugs, Carolyn

Now you got me wondering what brought this on, Missy....I am hoping you are fine and it's so nice to read a new write from you...another poem which I can relate to...being on one's own doesn't equate to being lonely. A lot of truth here and sighs, yup me too have tripped, and can handle a sprain or 2. I catch up with you soon...
