    Hi rosie hun!:hello:
    I hope you're feeling better angel.hug.gif
    I hope you don't mind hun, but I wrote the following poem as a reply from my heart ( and other people's maybe) to yours, and I hope it helps somehow.:o

    quote=rose07;

    What do I do?
    - Rely on the angels that surround you.

    been a week now
    - But the time is as new as the pain

    and still no better
    - And we all want ~ need ~ the better times here now!

    The pain is soo bad
    - Too dark to see the angels or the hope.

    Im split in two
    - The two minds and hearts that weren't meant to be ~

    and hurting soo much
    - So halve the pain and nurse only your share.

    I have bad thoughts and
    - You're scared - dark thoughts following a dark time,

    they are starting to take over
    - Yet you've have been here before - you know this place!

    Have gone back on the drink
    - Then we'll take your glass and fill it only with kindness.

    And saying my prayers
    - You'll remember that your short times here did change

    My bf split up with me
    - And you'll be thankful that young mistakes won't grow old.

    and so now i have nothing
    - Yet so very much, but the pain blinds you to it right now.

    nothing to fight for
    - Except for being the precious gift you are to everyone.

    nothing to be here for
    - Though you know this place of pain will soon enough shift,

    please someone take away the pain
    - To a place where pain belongs. Away from you.

    Im crying from the inside
    - And tears will wash out this pain, one tear at a time.

    And its driving me insane.
    - So now reclaim your heart ~ moving into love and light~
    To where you're truly alive. Back to where you belong.

    :cry:/quote

    If anyone wants to throw something at me, could you make it either catnip or fish please?:o ;)
    Much Love,

    What a beautiful poem, Rose.
    You are quite an artist, aren't you?....

    'The pain is so bad
    I'm split in two'

    You are not Atlas
    Atlas has no problem carrying the world on his shoulder
    In classical mythology, he is Atlas
    If Atlas hands you the world
    To carry for a while
    You are squashed
    Nothing complicated about it
    Only Atlas can carry the world
    It's his job
    Your job is simply to enjoy the world!

    Love

    Hi cb2!:hello:
    How very true and very wise angel!:T
    Somehow , as we carry these burdens, we have hope knowing that we don't have to carry it and that there are kind souls out there, willing to share the load.
    I hope all is well with you and yours hun. Be kind to yourself.hug.gif
    Much Love,

    Hi bmf!:hello:
    I hope all is well with you hun.;)

    quote=BigMummaF;
    Morning folks..tried to meet up with you last night but got in a right pickle coz me mouse was on strike! As you can see, the cat has been after his tale so here I am.
    That's right - blame the cat! lalala.gifcroc.gif;)

    For those of you who are in the dark place, I wish you light..I've been there many times, & will probably visit again. One thing that prevented me from following through to the final act was the thought that some poor bu88er would have to come & clear up the mess. Believe me, that would be an awful lot of mess-we're talking elephant house here! While it made complete sense that my family would be all the better for my not being around, it didn't seem right to inflict that sort of emotional stress on complete stangers somehow.Peaceful Minds folks. BMFx/quote

    Sounds like you've got the same T-shirt as me bmf!:o


    I think this thread offers a lot of light in many ways... stories that really tug at your heart,
    everyone with a tale to tell,
    lions fighting off the darkness and never giving up,
    souls wondering ''is it just me?'' and finding reassurance that no, it's not,
    guardians to show us different paths,
    angels that bring a simplicity and smiles to us,
    stalwarts ready to roll up their sleeves to help and reassure us,
    generous hearts that share off-thread too and find friendship,
    souls who break up the darkness with bits of silliness, bringing us laughter,
    the backbone of the thread who thank you regardless in silent support,
    ones brave enough to open up and those kind enough to listen without judgement,
    and of course, the silent many who lurk - knowing you're there and appreciating the fact that you stopped by.

    More than anything, this thread has never turned people away - all are made welcome and supported, and we accept each other however we've posted, whatever mood we're in.

    And just when you're right at the end of your tether, that can be the most wonderful feeling in the world - to know people care and that you're not alone, that you just have to reach out and ask and the guys will be here for you. This thread has shown me how wonderful people can be and that there is hope.

    This is what you've all been to me.

    And bmf, you're part of this too hun, I'm really glad you never took that final step. :T
    There'll be times where we all lose that light, and that's when everyone here steps forward.
    Where would I be without you all?
    Be kind to yourselves guys.hug.gif
    Much Love,
    Tiff xxx

    Just where do you get all your energy from youngTulip?!?:eek: The Church, your folks, singing, the club.....AND all the cleaning? Is there something in the water supply where you are--go-go juice maybe?:rotfl: :rotfl:

    I'm going off [LESS OF THE SMIRKING! I shower in good fresh stagnant bog brine every day thank-you!] early cos Patrick is about the only reason to watch EastBenders these days. I think that little scrote hanging around with Ian's daughter clobbered poor Pat. Any other theories?

    Have a restful evening.

    Hi Everyone,
    I havent been at all well today at all :( ,I felt depressed,got a bus to parents house and walked up the hill to them as the bus took me part way and it was to save dad getting car out so I walked in the hot weather :) I also carried four bottles of Corrs beer on way which I got free of charge yesterday from co-op in exchange for a voucher from Corrs,offer has ended now sadly sorry.Anyway I had my lunch and then felt so not right I cried and went to my mums bed and stayed there all afternoon and hibernated and just slept and slept,I was so overtired as well,Mum came in as I was going to sleep to console me but now I feel a bit better this evening at home,mum made my tea tonight for a change and she ironed my double dovet for me as they are hard to iron at the best of times and dad worked in my bathroom on my toilet seal which had paper around it.Not much on tv tonight at all,so I will have an early night,Just watched Eastenders and It was brillient :)
    love and light,
    Katie xxx
