Missing

Can anybody tell me how they get over that synonym, Missing. I am unable to regulate my soul, It doomed my thoughts, defeated my entity, dictated the pleasure's off me, to feel the Moment. Missing, is my unique enemy, has haunted me since my children left our home, dominated my shadow, conditioned my brain, provoked my tears, drowned my vitality, created my vindictiveness, refusing to be optimistic, allowing it to torment my darkness, dictated my pain, captivated by this unique synonym, I sense it's tantrum everywhere, how can I omit it? anyone can help me? it was always there, but I was not helpless, I am today. Now I was born with a heart, I cannot find it, I am a bought slave with my own purchases, how weak have I gone down the ladder lately, how desperate have I allowed to be taken for granted by the word Missing, why? is aging doing all that? have I become so wounded by giving up my strength. When I was younger, I had ways to accept, to understand, to not allow it to take over my few remaining years, I was healthy, strong, had aims, was in love, made love, I used to go out, now left alone. Deserted. I used to visit my children, I felt alive, healthy, even old it did not affect me the way it does those days, loosing hope of wanting to survive, it engulfs all my existence, become so much stronger than I am. Missing, I am its slave, worst, intentionally, allowing it to stab me, it blocks all my doors, it imprisons me. I am in prison. Now. Can someone come and get me? I am not drinking, cooking, put make up, dress or go out, paralyzed, under its feet, no life, I beg like a beggar, I get no answer, it destroyed my brain, my thoughts, my surreal, destroyed all my tissues, negative thoughts are born nowadays, weakened my system, my strength is drained. I am a mother, Oh universe, it leaves me breathless, weak, make me strong, I am hungry, feed me, I am judgmental, forgive me, no patience, angry, I am destroying myself, carry me to the ocean, drown me intentionally before I become selfish, I stopped being there for my children, I am helpless, I need help. It destroyed who I was, made me despise who I am, Now. Therese Bacha 31/5/2013

Thank you for passing by Harry, I feel so alone, and lonely. I let myself go, needing just one day to stop fighting reality. I will come back to who I was a fighter. Terry xo

If you need desperately help, we all are here to help you. I know now I missed your poems, visiting you for the first time. We all miss you, so you must overcome this moment of desperation and start back to live. You are important to all people you know and also to people you do not know. Now therefore arise!

Hello Carl, I am so blessed to have friends here, Thank you so much Carl, yes I am a real Believer in Jesus, because He made a miracle and saved my son from Cancer five years ago. That day I wrote this poem, I have just lost my second brother to lung cancer, it took just a month, and it was his end. I am so sad, but thank God, I have my 2 sons who embrace me from far by phone. Have a great weekend. Bless you. Terry xo

Hi Terry this is a thought provoking piece, I can sense your deep emotions wrapped inot your words.Just think about all the postitive things you have achieved in the past and start living again. We all have or days...but I felt something deeper in your poem...deep pain, lonliness and regret.Send me an email and lets talk.

Hi Christine, i really do appreciate your concern, yes it is deeper in pain, many things are happening in my life at the same time. I will try and soup mail you, as I never did that before. It so generous of you to ask me to email you. Thank you so much. Love Terry xoxo

Hey T...I too feel blue....mothers day behind me for another year....not being able to have children has left such empty holes..nothing common in conversation or life with other women....I feel from your poem, you are somewhat lonely because I'm sure you are the type of mother who gave a special and different part of yourself completely to each of your children..they now own it completely..leaving you with less than you started with but it is there all around in them and will pass on forever....

Hi Donna, I am so sadden to read your deep feelings of the pain you are going through. If you feel that we have a kind of email relationship, without my imposing on you, leaving it up to you to decide. I would ask from you, send me a soup mail with your private email, as I do not know how to send a soup mail, I can only read them. I would email back my private email. Love Terry xoxo

My dearest Terry, you have being through life and have lived to an age not many reach, not that you are that old, NO, but how many young people have left without having your experiences? You and I have lived and we should be thankful, now we have to look inside us , to the pleasures of our souls there happiness and salvation lie! Cheer up for we have more spiritual pleasures to live that up to now we ignored! Your friend Demetrios! Excellent work,7!

Aging is an unavoidable process, if one live up to that. I would tell myself if i have to go through life in a immobile manner, that God has given me space to get closer to him, to understand him, to meditate upon his gracious love and sooth my soul, prepare myself for him to accept me when I reach him one day. God always always love you!Hugs/Hugs/plenty of Hugs
