Staring at the Ceiling

Silence screams loudly
I just stare at the ceiling
Alone with my thoughts


I am having one of those days where I feel like I have no control over life. This will pass - the illusion that I have any amount of control over things, that is. I can only control certain aspects - most importantly, my reaction to those things out of my control.

Alone with My Feelings

Sorrow held my hand
Disappointment embraced me
Alone with my feelings

just thinking about a depressing time in my life - someone I know is going through some similar stuff

Single Mother

Anguished mother's cries . . .
"How can I do this alone?"
Tears stream down her face.

Stress and Depression

There is a monster
Living inside me . . . gnawing
On my heart and mind.

Rain Spattered

Windows to the soul . . .
Melancholy and tear-blurred
Like rain-spattered glass.
