Overwhelming

Christina8

My heart hurts for no reason

It feels like it has lost a piece

That's what depression feels like

No easy way to make it cease

 

Nothing has happened. No

cataclysmic heartbreak here

But tell that to my heart

Who feels such a painful little tear

 

It's hard being affected so easily

Because I have everything I need

Sometimes it feels overwhelming

And advice from friends I do heed

 

After all the writes I read, I know

I'm a lucky woman for sure

Because my heart could never be broken

I'll continue like this, because I will endure.

 

No, I will overcome!

    Yes, you will Christina! Hang in there! There were many days I’d cry myself to sleep when I was raising my family! It wasn’t easy...but it all worked out! Be strong! Everything will be ok!

    • Christina8

      I appreciate your kind words. Certainly isn't easy. But most of my poems are happy, a few slip through like todays. But I thank you for everything!

        Yes, you are a very positive person! We all have a bad day once in a while! Have a great day!

          You are strong Christina as can be seen from your poems, sometimes though we all have days when sadness enters our lives but be assured it will soon become happy again.

            A fine write C. I see it is 'tear' as in weeping, to rhyme with 'here'. Yet it may also be 'tear' in the sense of ripping.

            • Christina8

              Yes I struggled with that but left it. Thanks for the read and compliment!

              I agree with Santita...

              You're such a powerful woman. Sweet, caring, strong. Your words say a lot about you. Thank you for sharing. Stay strong.

                Thanks for your kind words! Yeah, I guess depression is more than just a bad day. Thanks for the kind compliments. I appreciate them!

                Christina, I'm taken aback... wow! But like you say, you'll overcome. In fact, the Bible says that we're more than conquerors. Be blessed! I invite you to read my latest prose poem.

                      Christina, none of us can be perfectly happy everyday. We all share your pain and feelings. So please know that you are among friends here at MPS. You can reach out to most of us I'm sure. But when life has you feeling down, God hears you too. And don't be afraid to write about it, sometimes that's the best way to bounce back. Works for me anyway. ; )
