'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 ©270520141608

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...
