Sorrow reflected

Unhappy existence is no way to be

Although I don't want anyone sorry for me

I'd like empathy

A little sympathy.

Resolving of issues

Not another box of tissues.

I can't take the hurt and misunderstanding

The words of "expressing myself" only in anger.

There's danger ahead

But no warning sign

Without a map to guide me

I'm destined to die.

Where's the magic formula, the easy solution?

Gotta get real and find the resolution.

Life as I want it won't exist

My very self, being and life is in abyss.

Unfortunately life doesn't come with directions. We must find our own path and are destined to screw up. Sorry you're down. You certainly have my empathy as this is all too relatable.

Petula this is really good. Just remember everything happens for a reason. Which usually makes us stronger or more independent. It may seem like there is no end to whatever is going on at the moment but you do have many options. Whether that's leaving a bad relationship, quitting a job, changing your life to better you and your children, the decision may not be the easiest. You have to ask yourself if you'll be happier and if you're doing what's best for all involved in the long run. Then do what's necessary. I hope you are okay and everything is better.
