Hidden in a deep dark place
Lost inside this broken case
Secrets buried in this tomb
A life of hate, anger and gloom
Inside this soul my spirit is bare
Closed down and trapped, alone I tear
Broken and crushed into bits
This life of darkness is the pits
Self-isolation from everyone
Never seeing brightness of the sun
Days are gray and nights are black
Days go by as I lose track
In the mirror what do I see?
Misery staring back at me
Hating what is standing there
Taking another breath of air
Hopeless is all I feel
Sad and hurting as I try to heal
Will this feeling ever end?
Will I ever really mend?

Yes you will mend! I truly believe writing down your pain is the second step in the healing process ... The first is making the choice to give the self a forum, even if it is a conversation with the self.

Well done!
"Hopeless is all I feel
Sad and hurting as I try to heal
Will this feeling ever end?
Will I ever really mend? "
At least you are trying; and to everyone who tries, I believe the day will come when the cloud will lift - as I experienced it
Hope it comes for you soon

"Will I ever really mend?" I do hope you do but I know how difficult it can be as the days go by and you lose track, as you see misery looking back at you from the mirror.
This poem makes me feel really bad for you and I hope you can mend.

wow! this is very deep. i can understand completly how you feel and you've described your emotions which i think is fantastic because i think the first step of 'healing process' is realising how you feel,and why you feel that way.
i love the lines 'In the mirror what do I see? Misery staring back at me Hating what is standing there Taking another breath of air'
and also 'Days are gray and nights are black
Days go by as I lose track'
and finally i just want to say this feeling of sad and hurt will end my darling, it will, it will take time but you have already started so dont give up. stay strong hun and you will get through it .
thankyou for being able to share this, take care and know that i am here if you want to talk.
xx
