Where there once was heart and soul, now all had turned to brutal shadows of depravity – by poet

    
Where there once was joy
   Now all had turned to pain
Where there once was sunshine
   Now all had turned to rain
Where there once was starlight
   Now all had turned to darkness
Where there once was grace
   Now all had turned to shame
Where there once was kindness
   Now all had turned to dread
Where there once was hope
    Now all had turned to despair
Where there once was faith
    Now all had turned to disbelief
Where there once was inspiration
    Now all had turned to discouragement
Where there once was gentleness
   Now all had to turned to coldness
Where there once was insight
    Now all had turned to cruelty
Where there once was music
    Now all had turned to fearfulness
Where there once was dancing
    Now all had turned to marching
Where there once was love
   Now all had turned to loathing
Where there once was singing
    Now all had turned to whispering
Where there once was silence
    Now all had turned to unruliness
Where there once was pleasure
    Now all had turned to offensiveness
Where there once was intimacy
    Now all had turned to distance
Where there once was passion
    Now all had turned to excessiveness
Where there once was magic
    Now all had turned to tedium
Where there once was happiness
    Now all had turned to sorrow
Where there once was expectation
    Now all had turned to a dead end
Where there once was beauty
    Now all had turned to ugliness
Where there once was writing
    Now all had turned to dialog
Where there once was poetry
    Now all had turned to prose
Where there once was words
    Now all had turned to thoughts
Where there once was promise
    Now all had turned to contradict
Where there once was laughter
   Now all had turned to misery
Where there once was heaven
    Now all had turned to hell
Where there once was giving
    Now all had turned to maliciousness
Where there once was God above
    Now all had turned their back on love

But never give up, there's always hope of rebirth. The sun will shine again and all hurt will find healing and renewal. Heartbreaking message in this one, but the same quality poetry we're used to reading by you, Gina Hugs filled with hope, Bill

Thankfully I don't suffer from this terrible illness called anxiety now but I have in the past and know from experience it is filled with darkness and despair. Thank you for your kind comments, friend... God bless you, Love, Gina
