So Little Hope

So Lonely And confused, My thoughts haunted. Demons stalk my dreams Bringing endless nightmares With no respite, end, or peace. Alone, no escape can be found From the fears that flood my waking mind. A black despair consumes my soul and heart.

I can relate to this. I have these kinds of nightmares where I wake up screaming. I haven't found the cause but it sure shakes me up. Your last line sums it up so well! Cheers, Connie

It is so strange Connie, one moment all seems well and then like a quickly rising tide you are submerged in such deep dispair. iT NEVER ENDS. But poetry helps and the friends I have made here help a lot to. Thanks for the visit Connie. Love Shane xxx

Depression is not for the weak. It debilitates and sucks the joy out of life. When you talk about being alone, perhaps that is the way out, the open hatch, the light shining as a soft beacon beckoning you to move toward people. Tell me.

I appreciate you thoughts Kim and the hug means more than any words but alas I do not believe in divinities so his love would be for nought in my case, the hug is worth a hundred fold though. My love to you for caring Shane xxx

What do you do Anne~Lise if you are in a tunnel spirialing down there is no sun nothing but black getting thicker no way back soon no way forward just void. Maybe that is where the pain stops

I've been there....many many times, Shane. You don't have to be there alone. A friend is always a blessing. I'm here whenever you need someone to listen and understand. I know what it feels like. Hugs

Dear little Jan it is how i feel every waking and sleeping moment. It consumes me it is relentless in its subjugation of my soul. It devours friendships leaving only pale broken bones in it's wake. this is my life,

Your feelings surface and carry the emotional force behind your words. A touching and heartfelt description of failure and defeat mired in the bog of depression. Emile #7

Thanks for visiting Emile, I think the word BOG is a very apt way of describing depression, it is something that once you step into it is almost impossible to step out. love Shane
