Raw Emotion

Under the cloak of anger,
In a world full of despair,
Surrounded by misery and pain,
Engulfed in darkness,
Loss of hope,
No control.

To keep oneself under control,
Fight through the darkness, confront your anger,
Don’t give in to despair, search for hope,
The search...

Cancer it breaks cancer it takes
It erodes and corrodes body and soul
Lingers and takes hold  cant be stopped or controlled
Terminal is with an apparent ending
Loss of hope and no point in pretending
Life span is against natures clock
Head now on the proverbial block
Spreads with ease...

Sadness fills me
Heartache shrouds me
Anguish consumes me 
Need overwhelms me
Endless tears unseen

Our lives are like crossword puzzles.   Similar, 
and yet no two are alike.  The beginning
needs time,  a few steps forward until,
you fall into your first folly, tracing
your steps backwards to the starting point again.

Start again?  I think not, written with...

Shadows
I walked into a dark shadow of foreboding with fear surrounding me.
I saw people depressed, despondent and stuck because fear absorbed them.
The loss of hope is everywhere in this shadow, cries, sobbing and despair, I feel and hear them.
It starts to squeeze my joyful life,...

There is a desolate road every mortal knows.
It winds across barren, weed-strewn ground.
Its  route is filled with faith-jarring holes,
And its destination is where despair is found.

Depression and loss of hope are signs
The desolate road knows our losing streaks. 
Each of us makes the trip...

Overwhelming feelings
Suffocating thoughts 
Everything I am....
Everything I'm not....
Heart beats fast..
Anticipation flows.
Where this road leads, only God knows. 
Part of me is broken, feeling torn and lost. 
But the Lord has spoken, filling all my thoughts. 
I hear a feeble whisper through my crippled dreams. 
Hope...

There is always joy in pain
Lessons learnt and everything won’t be the same
But you drive me insane
Each time we try you’re always first to shift the blame
Jealousy strikes like it did with Cain
And I always have to sacrifice myself like they do for fame
You’ve lost...

a girl lost

A girl lost in space and time
is often fond of love and rhyme
there is some fear some faith
she just don't want to be late
by the unknown that sustains
in the depth of her mind and inside
unravelling of tide that is quite high
comprised of thoughts...

No question 
No change
Change to begin
Change to understand
Understand the defeat 
Understand the loss
Loss of hope 
Loss of self
Self defeated
Self worth
Worth trying 
Worth sharing
Sharing ideas
Sharing life
Life alone
Life of questioning 
Questioning my capability 
Questioning my expectations 
Expectations of understanding self
Expectations of love
Love others 
Love self
Self giving 
Self...

I wake to an empty void, encapsulated in this prison of sorrow and grief. 
I am trapped in a life of reoccurring loss of hope of any kind of escape.
I lie on the dirty rotten floor, remembering your deceptive motif.
The thought over shadows me, like...
