Sometimes I wonder… Late at night I sit in the dark…. In the quiet still of night… I face no one, not a soul in sight… Alone and isolated with my thoughts… I ask myself, is anything worthwhile, This life and everything I have sought… Sometimes, when my spirit is at its lowest…. When I can not seem to see the sun, or Feel its warmth but only know the cold or gloom… I ponder why?, why should I go on… There is no reason to stay, every reason to leave… No purpose I can find why I need breathe… Everyday that passes only adds to the despair… Of wanting to know why be here, what else to bear… In these moments when I am at the pit of my desolation I have nothing but loathing for myself only wish for extinction Ready to cease , nothing to make me stay … This is my soul’s fate I feel, it shall pass, nothing to delay… Mostly when I am alone, the hopelessness overcomes me… Bleak is how I see, forlorn are the days before me… I have no dreams left, no stars to look up to, no rainbows left… Filled with remorse and guilt for things lost, promises unkept… Deep, the hate I feel for no one else I think in my head… I welcome death, I want to be dead… Danielle McHenry
Reason for writing:
I wrote this in a moment of sadness. Fleeting as it may have been....it was while in the moment...a bleak look at life, love and the whole world. It is my hope that such moments are rare and that those who do experience such...be strong enough to overcome such valleys.
