On the Other Side

Poetic Enigma on Jan 7, 2009

About hoping things will be better on the other side.

I’ve lost my will for life
I haven’t worn makeup in days
Or combed my hair at all
and I’ve worn the same clothes all week

It takes all I have just to get out of bed
I didn’t eat lunch again
I lost my appetite
The future is looking so bleak

I have heard it all before,
They say it is just a phase
but it can’t be that,
This has lasted for more than a few mere days

No-one asks what is really wrong
They say I just need a change
Maybe some time in the sun
and my attitude will rearrange

I don’t think it will,
and I honestly don’t care
I have given up
I’m too far gone,
I am not there

I have lost all hope for tomorrow
I have had enough of this life
Worn completely out by the sorrow
Maybe things will be better on the other side

That would be such a loss of a beautiful person…

You had better fight your carcass off because we would miss you dearly. Besides your too young and you have your whole life to live! If this is only a poem and nothing personal then it is beautiful!

God bless.

Wow…such depression and desperation…truly gutwrenching. I just hope this is not how you feel now and it’s just a poem.

Dont ever give up! If there is something i have learnt it is that.
You ever need a friend, i am here. Dont let your talent go to waste. Your writing is moving and wonderfully expressed.

Hi there!
