In this moment of despair
I am left to wander.
Sitting...still and silent.
Gazing through this plane
into my tortured state of mind.
This place of saddened lonliness.
Of wandering thoughts...to a time
of peace. Happiness

Known no longer.
Clutching depression as my
only means that I am still alive.
Instead of this robotic mechanism
that thrives on the repetition
of the day.

Save me! ...From myself.
I am concaving upon my being
with exasperation and
defeat.
Surrounded by shadows...
that steal my health and
croud my solitude. Mockingly
they judge me...whispering
of flaws and points of weakness.

Where has my solace gone?
That smile and humor...
with affection. Love.
It had pulled me out by my hands.
Out of that swamp of filth.
Filthy, rotten, decay of a
so-called life. I saw the sun...
and for once I hadn't crouched
away. I layed...sprawled out
and basking in such a
peace.

......
But that is gone now.
Dragged away from everything so beautifully
joyous. And thrown back to...
here.

the title reminds me of NIB... look into my eyes...and...take my hand. I hope Solace returns to lift you up and lay you on that beach once again. Dolorous and beyond the depths of the fall.....

It stings to be up so high and feel so safe the be hurled right back to a place that was lower than before. Lovely wording. I really feel honored to be a favorite, you write beautifully.

We all taste the rain and I'd love to share an umbrella with you some time. Meanwhile, I'm reading you...and thanking you for sharing your words.

I find myself looking back often to times better than now. I think things only get harder because we have more on our plates to deal with as we get older. As for those joyous things I feel they aren't dragged away, but they merely fade from our presence. The best we can hope for is to create little happy moments to battle the overwhelming grief that is life. In then end, oh well, keep rolling.

clutching depression... that line dominates this.
