    Why Stay?

    This whole life is nothing but a joke
    All my dreams are gone up in smoke
    Looking to the future there is nothing to see
    Because of things that happened, there is nothing left for me


    Nothing good has happened for a year or so
    It really makes me wonder why I shouldn’t go
    Why should I stay here and live with all the bad?
    All I have are memories of all the good we had

    Now the good is gone, never to return
    All the pain it brings makes my broken heart burn
    It all came crashing down destroying everything I knew
    All the things that I believed, were they ever true?

    I’m so tired all the time and I don’t know why
    Sometimes I can’t stay awake, no matter what I try
    When I sleep my dreams are haunted by the past
    Every night I go to sleep hoping it’s my last….

    very deep and well expressed. We all have those days that we just wonder "what's the point" I feel as you elude to sometimes releasing our inner demons through words helps to heal.

    Simply stated, many have been there ... sad but true, sharing helps even if only to show all- that we are not alone, however we feel. Glad you could purge some of the bad times of life.

    i think deep down inside some of us struggle with these same feelings towards life and living but u gotta remmeber the good that u do have out of life and this emotion is just yet another feeling like all of our feelings but dont let it be stronger keep your head up high and u will overcome the pain thats within

    Hope this is an old poem and things are better for you now. Remember, this too shall pass, and once it does, you really will be the better for it. This was a sad but hopefully cathartic write.
