Life's Struggles

She only wanted to be

loved and respected.

Unfortunately, she was

dealt more of life's

hardships than any

human should have

to endure.

After she decided not

to go any further,

she closed her eyes and

slept forever.

One can only do what one can. After you do what you can, you must let it go! Spending so much time being sad is so unneeded.

This is very compelling to any who have been on this dark road! You have wrapped the words with images that last, and hold the memory.

Though sad, it speaks for many who have found themselves in a bottomless pit of sorrows.

No one can relate unless they have been there.

I think we may all wish sometimes to close our eyes and get it over with. However, suicide is too much trouble, LOL, and then we may miss out on the small moments of beauty and joy and learning that come along every day, if we are open to them.
Sarah (I want points) Jan 16, 2009, 11:06am EST
Wow! That is a sad one. There are so many people out there that this describes though.
Trish A. Jan 16, 2009, 8:31pm EST
This is sad. It's tough if a person feels that lost.
