In the depths of this mess
I rest from the stress
My heart is shattered
But my soul untested
Cautiously I plan or do I really?
I don’t believe I can go through the fire
Rescue me
Save me
I am falling into a darkness of recession
The last faint hope is severed
I’m lost
I’m lost
My fall ends with a painful thud
Out of the murk and into the dirt I emerge
Without the love and care of another
I struggle to find my way
Through trial and error I learn the path
The loss of affection has toughened my soul
I feel brand new
I see a distant light
I start to ascend to new heights
Never to look back on the dark past
I have no regrets on this road to prosperity
My journey to my endless destiny has begun






This is really nice. I can understand every word of it and how it relate to you. It really can relate to anyone that has been down a road similar to yours and to everyone of us that goes through the trials and tribulations of life every day and learning from our mistakes. Really good they keep getting better and better. Keep it up!

Your writing is tender and deep and honest,
keep listening to your heart and soul, their silence is profound, and only you can give it voice.
