A cloud above me
Lingers & won't go away
Sometimes it parts & the sun shines through
Though it does this only to taunt me

I'm a simple man who enjoys simple things
In a complicated world I'd rather deny existed
Reality doesn't fit into my ideals
Hide me somewhere where this darkness flees

I know happiness
We've spent some time together
But she comes & goes & I can't hold her
Hope is all I can hold onto when happiness eludes
And even then, it all seems to slip through my fingers

Maybe I need help
Maybe you need help
Maybe we all need help
Nothing seems to help

Will a bearhug help? (((HUG))). I think the worldn needs help

Thanks Just having a lousy day; too much chit going on. I'm not liking the drama.

Wishing you an abundance of blessings...

i lost a marriage of over 20 yrs, 8 yrs ago, she went into depression after the death of her father and mother. i did not see it, she could not handle it and would not take meds. depression is real. i did not realize it till i went there.
the only depressing thing in my life at the moment are these internet dating sites and ladies looking for thier prince, when all they will do is kiss a frog. their knight in shining armor, well when they get to a certain part of the anatomy they may find a bad rash. damn armor, you sweat a lot, gave mine away. good luck girls, lot of good guys out there. remember you may overlook and orchid while looking for a rose.

Beautiful!

Hawaiimusikman, Nice Song!




innwfl58, your reply was like poetry in itself. I found it to be very eye opening and I want to say don't give up your shinning armor. A soldier does more good wearing it when he lives a life as a soldier in a world built for a soldier by a soldier, fighting for a cause.
