A way to survive

Everything is coming at me in hard crushing waves
All my mistakes and misfortunes sworm around me like a hurricane
Nothing and no one can see where my path lies, but me
And all I see is dark clouds and daggers coming my way
I feel as though I have lost myself in this abyss
There is so much I wanted to do and so much I needed to say
But nothing can become of me and I have nothing to gain
Hope is something I lost a long time ago
I dont know who I am or where I stand anymore
Everything has come full circle, but which path do I take
As I sit here alone thinking of a way to survive

    As always I loved it.

    I loved it all but lines 1-4 felt like you were speaking my life.

    I can SOOOO relate!!!

    Wow! Have you been peering over my shoulder? It's like you've described my life as it's sometimes been to me over the past 4 years, with what all I've gone through (check out my poems, and you'll see what I mean!)

    My heart really goes out to you, dear precious girl, and I guess the only thing I can say to help you make sense of it all is TURN TO THE LORD JESUS CHRIST! I know you'll prabably say that you're "not religious" and that "God is not your thing", but regardless, the fact is, HE IS YOUR ONLY HOPE! You were not put here for YOURSELF, but for HIS GLORY!

    I have gotten responses from so many others on this site who, like you, ARE MISERABLE, FEEL HOPELESS, and for whom ALL IS DARKNESS AND GLOOM! But then, they ALL give me the SAME thing: RESISTANCE TO THE TRUTH! They GET MAD AND MAKE EXCUSES! And some of them even attack me, even though all I'm doing is trying to HELP! And I find it quite ironic that those who will readily admit that what they have and what they're about is A MISERABLE FAILURE, yet they choose to HANG ONTO THAT JUST THE SAME!

    Have you ever heard the definition for INSANITY? It is "doing the same thing that you KNOW doesn't work OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN!" That is totally crazy! And I can tell you, and take it from one who knows: "BEEN THERE, DONE THAT!" When I was age 18, I was stubbourn and rebellious, and it wasn't till I was in jail and had NO WHERE to look but UP that I came face to face with the reality that the problem wasn't OTHERS, but ME! It was my sin against a holy God who owed me NOTHING but judgment! And the sooner YOU come to that point, the better!

    My heart breaks for you (really!) due to GOD'S LOVE, and I do pray that you will come to the realization of what I'm saying, because it's absolutely true! GOD LOVES YOU, AND ONLY IN JESUS CHRIST will you find any lasting peace, joy and love! God bless you!

      Well i dont know if you will get this, but honestly the reason I had hit rock bottom was my fault. I wasnt getting my crap together I kept screwing up and making poor choices. It had to do with me and messing things up with everyone in my life who cared about me. And just not feeling like I could make it. I know now I need to keep a good relationship with those people and I do need to better myself as a person. I do believe in god I just have my own beliefs about god. So I do respect your opinion and I am not saying your wrong, but it wasnt because I didnt believe in god that made me feel this way. It was what I did to myself and I need to fix that because I know god will always love me no matter what unless of course I am someone who thinks I can do whatever I want with no consiquences. Thats not me and that will never be me.
