I was sending out boosters this morning when I came across a blog.  One of my friends is having a hard time right now.  Weight loss, exercise and family is causing her to doubt herself.  I know that we have all been there.  Our lives are one continuous path of ups and downs. Some day i’ll blog about my personal downs. Not today. Today is for everyone who is having a hard time remembering that the path will eventually head back up.  So here is another one of my poems.

• Sometimes our days are darkest,
• When the sun shines all around.
• We seek the warmth, but cannot feel it.
• As if to us, the clouds are bound.

• We are sometimes at our loneliest,
• In the middle of a crowd.
• We scream, but no one hears us.
• A painful soul can make no sound.

• We can taste the saltiness of tears,
• We do not know that we have shed.
• Jumbled thoughts out of control.
• In a sea of chaos our minds must tread.

• We look for the comfort of contentment.
• But, with head and heart at war,
• We cannot find completeness.
• We must always search for more.

• The road will not be easy
• with detours, ruts and bends.
• But my sanity requires,
• That I believe I’ll find an end.

• It may not be today,
• but some day I will be free.
• I will be able to take control,
• of this person that is me.
