Despair

Lost in a sea of despair I drift.

No end in sight and nothing to hope for.

Sadness darkens my heart.

Numb to life and all that it holds.

Ready to sink, ready to give up.

The water is cold, and so is my heart.

Please take me now as I don’t want to be here.

The end is in sight, but not the one I want.

No turning back now, I made my choice.

Goodbye.

Shadows

Sadness cloaks my heart in darkness.
I struggle to break free, but can’t find my way.
Like a ghost in the shadows, I hide my feelings.
I look for forgiveness, but ask for acceptance.
The road ahead is lonely and the path unknown.
Why go on, I do not know.

Why go on

Bitter love
Sweet hate
An entire life to contemplate.

Sweet sadness
Painful glee
Finding happiness in tragedy.

A happy goodbye
A sad hello
Why go on, I do not know.

Foreseen beginning
A known end
It is time to go, goodbye my friends.

Poem - Forgotten

Memories of who I once was
Thoughts of loved ones from the past
Stories of happiness fade
I question who I am
A stranger in the mirror
Sadness in my heart
I look but cannot find
No one left…

… I am forgotten

Never Enough Money

Why does money rule the world? All day, every day, everyone of us struggles to make more and more money, and as soon as we make more we want more. How much money is enough?

I work hard and struggle to get by always waiting for my next raise or promotion. Yet every time I get a little more money some new expense comes along and takes it all away! I am always broke no matter how much money I make.

Does anyone out there know the secret to money? How can I ever make enough so that I don’t have to always worry about it? How do we all get rich?

I am a simple man, I don’t want lavish things. I just want to be comfortable, be able to pay my bills, and not have to worry about unforeseen expenses.

If anyone knows the secret to this, PLEASE do not hesitate to let me know!
