Array ( [sid] => 34587 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Keep Going? [time] => 2004-02-11 05:41:25 [hometext] => The question is clear. [bodytext] => How do I keep going?
Do I continue to fight?
My chances I keep blowing!
I create my own plight!

Why is it I can only see
The right thing to do
When it’s too late for me
And too late for us too?

Isn’t it ironic?
The person I want so badly to please
Has a trust problem that’s chronic
And for me, is impossible to appease

My mind doesn’t seem to work
At least, not as it should
The wrong answer always seems to lurk
Seemingly showing falsehood

Your arguments are strong
And you’ve every right to believe
Whether right or wrong
That you can’t trust in me

Do you not understand?
Why I can’t give you a reason?
As I look from where you stand
I too, see only my treason

There’s nothing I can say
And nothing that can be done
For my mind to work right, I pray
But, I fear the end’s already begun

It just doesn’t matter anymore
For happiness, I don’t want to try
My heart is so sore
And hope only leads me to cry

Sleep no longer concerns me
Or keeping my food down
I’ll approach life calmly
And in tears, let my heart drown

My children still need me
For about another ten years
So I must remain steady
And somehow, contain my tears

It doesn’t sound satisfying
I guess I’ll make it through
Probably with much sighing
But bliss, I’ll not pursue [comments] => 2 [counter] => 197 [topic] => 13 [informant] => facingsin [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )
Keep Going?

I've been where you are. At the risk of sounding trite, the good news is that you are growing and that writing about what you're living is helping you to grow. Better days await.
