I try to reach out, but no one is there.
I cry out, but no one hears.
I walk alone in the darkness, stumbling, confused, lost....
I am so tired... I see no light in this wilderness of pain.
The darkness is so heavy, it feels like a weight on my chest...
crushing, painful and bruising.

Yet, I must keep walking
everywhere I turn, there are voices asking for my help.
asking me to bear their pains and sorrows.
I lift them up, taking their pain.
Smiling and encouraging them through my own pain and grief.

Where is my help, my hope, my strength?
I don't know anymore...

I feel very discouraged as well. Ask myself since I'm taking care of my elderly mom and no other family, who's going to take care of me??? I'm 37 and have no hope

At 37 you have plenty of time to meet someone, perhaps someone who has children?

There must be something in the air because I too have been feeling quite discouraged as of late. I'm hoping it's just nerves because school is due to start back at the end of this month and I'm not sure how I'm going to handle it along with my full-time job.

I'm too feeling sad, so I understand you. Beautiful poetry btw. I wish there was a magic wand so all of us can feel better.
