Angel_baby Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 ----------------------------------------- Disappear ----------------------------------------- Everything appears so gloomy, nothing ever seems to goes right. I just sit here with my thoughts, as the hours tick by tonight. Will I be able to fight this, or will I give in and cry. Looking around for answers, how? when? and why? I feel darkness creeping in, sneaking in before I know it. Fighting to find happiness, in this dark spiraling pit. It seems to suffocate me, every turn and move I make. No one seems to understand, so much more is at stake. Trudging through this muck, hoping to find the way. I get more lost each step I take No one hears anything I say. Pushing away at my thoughts, they just won't go away. Trapped in this damaged body, there has to be another way. One day I might be happy again, maybe the light will again appear. It's all a matter of my mind, until then I just want to disappear. I wrote this when I first was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Lupus. I was also going through postpartum depression at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacodemil Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 The compliment is your work not what I have written. Keep writing and the world will thank you some day. Talent doesn't just grow on trees so please keep putting your gift to use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiredofvampires Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Pushing away at my thoughts, they just won't go away. Trapped in this damaged body, there has to be another way. How I ever know the feeling of this!! This body can feel like such a prison...but through writing or expressing it somehow, the spirit is unloosed! This is a winner, Angel! Why are you keeping this talent so well-hidden? I would love to see more from you! More, more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jengh Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 angel, that's really great. you should post more (for me to give a compliment about poetry is a big deal. I'm not into poetry AT ALL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see more from you! More, more! lol Thanks TOV! With your gift for words that is a really nice compliment. I love writing poems. It's my own little creative outlet that I do at times. I get shy when it comes to posting them though. Since I have received such lovely compliments I think I will post a couple more soon. I will post my favorite of mine next time.

I am glad you liked it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jengh Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Yes, I absolutely do. The words are VERY strong and heartfelt, very emotional. I think they definitely "speak" to the audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took me a lot of gumption to put anything on here, too, what with the pedigree of some people in this forum (think, comfyshoes, DB...!...etc...) But your poem here shows that you have NO reason to be shy, it's really powerful! Poems should be shared...you will always touch someone! I'll look out for more, then!
