Have you ever felt Shadow less,
Like the world is moving
And your life is on pause?
You know when your life feels like a program on Spanish TV?
You see the images and hear the sounds,
But nothing is getting through…
Feeling commonly cast into the wind,
Blown hither and thither by fear and uncertainty…
By way of choices…by way of fate.
And you can’t find that resolve and fortitude,
So you stare gazingly,
Exit to that place
Hoping that you could escape out of this maze,
Make your stop
As you give into the dark no longer seeking the light…
You are that parched soul that remains dry,
Unable to drink…
In a state of unrest,
Times of perplexity are upon you
Because your leaving this world is the only thought that comforts you…
You are tired of being that weeping,
Melancholy child is full of guile
Pervaded by thoughts of bad intentions
You gave up on trying to attain purity,
Looking for the real,
Positive & enduring value life offers.
Your soul is SO mentally drained from life and its teachings
You are vocally unable to utter a sound,
Sometimes silence is the best answer.
So you think why not just end it all?
Life is a mess,
And no one would miss you anyways…
You think of how easy it would be to step outside of yourself…
Soothe that troubled soul,
So you can vanish with your pain.
But something inside tells you that
The last record of one's life
Is in accord with one's struggle, one's strife
So you think,
What will last record will be?
And something tells you that you should wait and see…
Because nothing is lost
Except illusions have their cost
So when life gets us down…
You know you need to find a way to reverse things
THIS POEM WAS WRITTEN FOR THOSE THAT THOUGHT OF ENDING THEIR LIFE...I'VE BEEN THERE BEFORE...
You know you need to find a way to reverse things
Because you cannot create or destroy your form
And all you can do is stand in the storm…

THIS POEM WAS WRITTEN FOR THOSE THAT THOUGHT OF ENDING THEIR LIFE...I'VE BEEN THERE BEFORE...
A beautiful and meaningful post.
ReplyDeleteWhenever you were at that point... I am so happy that you decided to carry on!
Been there, done that! It's like being lost or wandering around in a perpetual fog. You cannot see clearly. Your salvation has to come from outside the fog, someone or something has to throw you line.
ReplyDeleteYour poem is a line for someone!
I. NEEDED. THIS. TODAY.
ReplyDeleteEXCEPCIONALES TUS IMAGENES !!!

I especially love the pics of the guy and the school bus, the guy in the smoke, and the guy next to the door. Hope you can give me the names soon (of the photographers, not the models, lol).
ReplyDeleteAnd don't think Spanish TV makes much more sense if you speak the language!
Now serious, great post.
Makes you appreciate life more when you decide to give life another chance. Going through something like this is so surreal and funny, before I had the thought ..when life was okay .I couldn't understand why...but now that I went through the pain..thank God I was too chicken to end it all and face the music..

ReplyDeleteI feel like 4 of these pics...and its a damn shame
ReplyDeleteCan't really identify with so much despair, but I have had those times when my mind is filled with memories that cause me depression and I begin to feel so worthless, but I have learned not to allow people or events of the past or present that hinder my peace of mind to rent space in my mind, instead I pray on it and move on.
ReplyDeletelife sometimes deals you a hand and you don't know how to play it, but self harm is never the solution, remember sometime you're dealt the aces other times the duces make the best of it.
DEONTE’K – I AM GLAD YOU FELT SO…THINK WE’VE ALL BEEN THERE ONE TIME OR ANOTHER…THAT’S WHY I WROTE THIS…
ReplyDeleteOYIN – DON’T SWEAT IT BABES, WE CAN HELP EACH OTHER OUT…
CHET – SELF HARM IS NEVER THE BEST, BUT THERE ARE TIMES WHEN A PERSON CAN’T SEE ANYTHING ELSE…SO THIS IS FOR THEM…
Keep on the great work you started, if you have a conflict with creation look on my theory about creation of men. That can help
