Why Am I Here

The depression is strong Sometimes I wonder why I was even born I’m nothing but a stressor in most people life I make one mistake after another in life I keep thinking I found love just to have my heart ripped out and handed me on a silver platter Why am I here Why am I even alive I’m nothing but a burden to everyone in my life I’d be better off dead rather than alive Yet I am still here even when I don’t want to be I just keep asking myself these days “Why am I here?” I would like to know

Julie so sorry to hear your pain. We all make mistakes in life. Everyone makes them we learn from them and move on. It is nice when you have supportive friends and family reach out to them for help, they care and love you. More importantly turn to Jesus he loves you more than anything and he feels your pain. Pray for comfort and peace and protection against those that hurt you. Reach out to him he will help you and resolve your situation. God bless you and know we all care for your well being.

In embracing the beggar, our heart grows bigger, feeling morning dew, we sense joy renew, by relinquishing fear, God draws near and lest we forget, beauteous is each sunset. By releasing thought, ego begot, we gently flow betwixt bliss beats mellow

A very deep poem Julie. I know you don't see it yet, but you are here for a reason. Yes, we keep on making mistakes doesn't we are a mistake. As long as you are still breathing you've made it through another day because YOU have a purpose in this life. ~Anna Kaianah

Thank you for these words! I have my good days and my bad days. The last few months have been very stressful for me for reasons I can’t talk about at this time. Once again thank you!
