How can one describe feelings One's that are abnormal to most Desolation, despair, anguish, isolation Feeling awkward and alone in life Even with family close by everyday Darkness, gut wrenching pain, anxious, Smiling yet never feeling it to one's heart Laughter not reaching the eyes Loving not feeling loved Dreams unfulfilled Arms embrace my newborn Mourning fills my head Overwhelming emptiness permeates every cell Music plays the notes bring tears Screaming within as hysteria joins the tune All around friends and family celebrate Heavy weight threatens to crush Begging for relief from the oppression Red heart clear like the perfect diamond Swarms of black invade overpowering the light Warmth obliterated by cold Unrelenting tears beneath the covers Breath held hiding the sobs Not wanting him to hear Love circles trying to break through Self reflection denying any joy Happiness, freedom, carefree needed How can one feel these things with so many caring Desolation, depravity, bitterness All consuming death grip on the soul Thoughts of regret, self doubt, undeserving fills her Heart raging against all the blackness He holds her tightly Arms wrap around pulling tight and close Willing the feelings to flow from one to the other Joy, fulfillment, calm, As the arms squeeze tighter I love you fills the air over and over Tears dry, warmth conquers chill Love, happiness, goodness, light Caring, sharing, oneness, Ice shatters, light bursts through Finally love conquers the desolation She feels alive Safe, loved, open to life Storm clouds of loneliness dissipate Leaving behind clear skies Lastly HAPPINESS Written by Jennifer Humphrey 10/13/2014

Desolation
How can one describe feelings One's that are abnormal to most Desolation, despair, anguish, isolation Feeling awkward and alone in life Even with family close by everyday Darkness, gut wrenching pain, anxious, Smiling yet never feeling it to one's heart Laughter not reaching the eyes Loving not feeling loved Dreams unfulfilled Arms embrace my newborn Mourning fills my head Overwhelming emptiness permeates every cell Music plays the notes bring tears Screaming within as hysteria joins the tune All around friends and family celebrate Heavy weight threatens to crush Begging for relief from the oppression Red heart clear like the perfect diamond Swarms of black invade overpowering the light Warmth obliterated by cold Unrelenting tears beneath the covers Breath held hiding the sobs Not wanting him to hear Love circles trying to break through Self reflection denying any joy Happiness, freedom, carefree needed How can one feel these things with so many caring Desolation, depravity, bitterness All consuming death grip on the soul Thoughts of regret, self doubt, undeserving fills her Heart raging against all the blackness He holds her tightly Arms wrap around pulling tight and close Willing the feelings to flow from one to the other Joy, fulfillment, calm, As the arms squeeze tighter I love you fills the air over and over Tears dry, warmth conquers chill Love, happiness, goodness, light Caring, sharing, oneness, Ice shatters, light bursts through Finally love conquers the desolation She feels alive Safe, loved, open to life Storm clouds of loneliness dissipate Leaving behind clear skies Lastly HAPPINESS Written by Jennifer Humphrey 10/13/2014
