Dark Reflections

As the name implies...a slightly dark piece.

Lying awake,
Only a few hours ‘till dawn.
Eyes red and sore,
From staying awake so long.

What does one do?
When everything falls apart,
When nothing seems right,
When it all collapses around you?

The world is full of horrors,
That, everyone knows.
Eventually we sink with sorrows,
And toil in our throes.

We wish to live the perfect life,
With no troubles or pain,
But unfortunately it is seldom possible,
Foiled are the plans that we’ve lain.

Sometimes hope eludes,
In our darkest hours.
Nothing good comes through,
There is no sunshine or flowers.

In these times of weakness,
We feel empty and alone,
No one to heal our hearts,
Darkness is our home.

You ask yourself,
What is my purpose?
Why do I live?
Can someone love me?
What can I give?

Keep your eyes focused on your goals, Shaun, and never give up. You are a much greater person than that. Don't let this drag you down, you can be strong. You have my total support. Reach to your friends in times of trouble. They will not let you down, I promise.

Even the steady rock will fall sometimes. If you need to talk, you know where to find me.

Sure thing...I'm doing alright. I just had one of those moments and it graced me with a poem.
