Then break free... Sweet Kathy, break free and go sit by the river. The stresses will be there when you come back - but you can tear them apart now!

And no, you're not alone.

Such a heartbreaker.

I really recognize myself in these emotions, alone and anxious.

what are the stresses that led you there?

Is it that you are along or, you are alone with all these stresses?
I think being alone in the stresses is more stressful because you don't know where to take them. You look around for help and support and find everyone is stressed, so you don't feel free to stay anything. It's like a stress fest, and you have been more of a listener than complainer. But you need to take your turn at the podium and vent. I know there have to be safe places to vent. So I suggest my place. Venting in a safe place is good exercise. It renews you to return to your post as ventee, a place for others to safely vent. Too many things going unsaid, pile in your head, fall down to your heart, and ferment there until they become intoxicating and uncontrolable and hurtful in the deepest parts of yourself. You don't want to be seeing deserts of life and oasis of death. That's a little cockeyed. If you do nothing else, think of all the stuff you've got in there and say them in the vilest way right into the toilet then flush it all down! Then eat chocolate and kiss Johnny Depp's picture and thank God for good photography and congratulate Him for His own personal handiwork in creating Mr. Depp. That ought to take you up a notch or two. If it doesn't, wathc Don Juan DeMarco or Benny and Joon. By, the way, this was san excellent poem!

I really like the title because I can definitely relate to it. I think as poets, we tend to feel more than the average person. It's innate and you can't really turn it off all the time. I hope this isn't a reflection of how you are feeling right now. But if it is, I hope you feel better soon. *hugs*

How beautifully you express your pain,
Though I should not be saying it,
But this makes me happy, despite
your pain, because it has distilled
so beautifully through your words
to create poetry so poignant as this
and worth a thousand sand grains
in the eye of the storm, emerges
a phoenix from the ashes-
triumphant and strong-
To sing such a beautiful song!

(((Hugs)))

I hope this place has enriched you in at least providing you an outlet for catharsis of your innermost storms?
As for being alone, we are all alone in this big wide world - each enveloped in his or her own big lonely cocoon!!!
Love, Zoya
