For all I've lost

Lately I've been wondering,
If everything I've said and done;
Has meant a thing to you.
I'm tearing and degrading,
Every piece of me.
All for the happiness in your world.
Fighting back the all consuming darkness,
just to face another day.
To let go,
To step back and let it all overcome.
I'd giver up everything,
For a moments bliss.
Just a single moment.
No pain.
No grief.
No overbearing demands.
Just peace.....

    I feel this...deeply! I often write about elusive peace. It is such a cherished thing to own...just sweet peace. This is a cry from a broken soul, one I hear and understand. Loved the depth of sincerity in this poem...

    Blessed Be~

      It's not you...you should know that. Although I am a bit confused on where we are these days...it's not you. But maybe now's not the time to ask. I'm not nearly stable enough for the answer....

    I can tell that this is a very personal poem. You've written your heart down on a page.

    Fighting back the all consuming darkness,
    just to face another day.

    Isn't that the hardest thing? Fighting the darkness to do everything that has to be done.

    I'd giver up everything,
    For a moments bliss.

    Did you mean, "give"?

    Overall, a very heartfelt piece.

    A very powerful write there sweety, I can really feel the emotions just pouring off of you. I can understand how you're feeling in this. Just wanting 5 minutes to yourself, to not have to please anyone, just do what you want to do when you want to do it. I have a suspicion that this is talking of taking your own life, letting go, being over come, the feeling of peace when you are laid to R.I.P. by your family. You may have lost a lot, but you'll not lose me. You know where I am sweety.... xXx

      You hit pretty close to the mark on this one. And it's reassure to see that someone gets what I'm saying. Thanks babe...**hugs tight** I'm surviving thus far...

        I can just relate to it is all... I've been there and I can remember it so vividly... I remember no-one quite understanding and the whole idea to them was ubsurd... they didn't know what I was on about or how I could think such things. Just for the final peace, no one left to have to please, no one to have to escape from. Trust me... it's not peaceful.... it really isn't. I'm glad I'm able to relate in some way even tho it upsets me that I can... if that makes sense. You know where I am, I'll always make time. I'm glad to hear that you are surviving. Thank you for replying to my comment. **hugs back** Keep going... xXx
