Broken Vessel

So much pain
trapped inside
With no where to go
no where to hide

I cry out for release
from this prison of despair
But nobody hears me
nobody cares

A scream escapes
my tortured soul
I fall to the ground
no longer whole

Just a broken vessel
in a life without hope
A girl left in pieces
no longer able to cope

Such lonely sadness, Carolann. But somehow you've managed to show how you feel with gentle beauty and colour - not an easy feat when so down. Pretty sure this is truth, and, feel so helpless to do or say the right words to help. Just hope and pray you can find friends/family who'll show just how much you matter to their lives, how important you are. God willing your heart finds smiles sooner than soon, love.

Oh you have described perfectly those moments when we feel as if our lives had spun out of control...people disappoint us, opportunities we deserve do not come our way, the situation just isn't what it ought to be, and we cannot "fix" it.
Believe me, I have been there, done that...and I own stock in that tee shirt factory...

Thanks Angel I'm glad you could relate.

A powerful description of emotion and losing control over life and hope. I could feel the disappointment in your words. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

i hear you Carolann--

people just need to listen...that would be the first step...the pieces can be put back together...

a hug or two and a bit of super glue ...

i have felt what this speaker is feeling now...
we move on eventually with the parts of us that are left.
