Thread: A Sinking Feeling

What does one do when all seems lost... When all that was there to pull you through abandons you for seemingly no reason. In this life we try and do what feels right, set morals, live by our values, but things don’t always fall the way your set them up to.

With a poor family life and few real close friends you take the risk of putting your trust, your life into the hands of a couple people. You live you’re every day with utter loyalty to your greatest investments. The question is, is that so wrong to do. The greatest feeling of happiness comes from others and interactions and relationships between you and them Some say money can buy happiness, I believe differently, that Money can buy well being and security in lively ventures, but never the special bonds built on a true loving frame. Without such a frame, past achievement and strife falls insignificant. When the end doesn’t justify the means you know it’s not right. Such things are deeply painful to realize.

Meanwhile, life goes on, time and the world around you will never stop and give you that much needed break from worldly responsibility. You tell yourself you don't want to draw attention to yourself and you want your peers to believe things are Okay, when in reality, what they can’t see is the hottest fire burning inside the deepest part of the heart and soul. The pain excruciating. The weight unbearable. We find companionship in hopes of finding that one person to share the weight of each other’s worlds, to turn that fire deep within into something fantastic representing passionate devotion to yourself and another.

In finding that companionship, I found liking in myself, that I was doing right, that I mattered as much to someone else as they mattered to me. I came to realize how empty and how narrow my view of life was. I grew immensely in all thinkable ways and I thank God for the chance.

Before her, love was something I knew only superficially. Its effect in true form changed my life. I knew the answer to the age old question of why are we here what is our purpose in this life. The answer is to find that person who does to you what she does to me and live everyday as if it were your last. Take nothing for granted and be thankful for it all.

I take pity on those who have not felt such love, but I also wish it upon them, as it is the greatest feeling one can feel in life.



- I'm not sure that this technically falls under poetry but I felt that Poetry was most appropriate -

Poetry is written in verse (as you poems are typically structured). What you've written here is prose (though it could probably be easily adapted into verse).

I think there's such thing as prose-poetry, which would be like this I imagine, but generally you're either writing poetry (in verse) or prose.

If this is wrong, feel free to prove me wrong... whoever. I'd suggest this being moved to 'Fiction'.

honestly I'm not concerned with structure or any of that I posted it for my self, to let someone know what I'm going through. thanks though.
