Laurie's Corner

Sadness comes and sadness goes
most people here are sad I know.
Lots of people in a room.
In their faces I see gloom.
Tears, words, cries for help.
Everyone here begins to melt.
The wound is open hurting bad.
Deep inside we feel so sad.
It takes you back to earlier days,
and many feelings come in waves.
How can we stop this and take control?
All that we hear is take it slow.
So each day when we awake,
I know there is more that you will face.
Stay strong, be brave, because that is you,
also your family needs you too.

So in my good byes I would like to say,
go slow and take this day bye day.
And in the end, you'll be whole again...

Good bye, to all my friends at HRI good luck on your journey of healing.

To Tired...Too Hard

This life I lead has been rough,
all the way Ive tried to stay tough.
Working hard, doing my best.
All of my feelings are still here yet.
I still want to go, to be alone.
Where angels are, so pretty they glow
Please take me now, I must let go.
My feelings again are starting to show.
My kids will be fine, Daddy is here.
I feel they will have absolutely nothing to fear.
All of the strength, I thought that I had,
has left me now and left me sad.
I want to go away from it all.
Life just doesn't work for me thats all.
Once in a while a smile or two,
but underneath you know it is you.
The fight is so hard, I want to let go.
This healing journey is taking to slow.
I need results, and that I dont see.
All that I see is a lost little me.
It hurts so bad, the pain inside,
even the feeling you want to die.
Its a hard choice to make.
I have made it till now,
but I really dont understand how.
So now I write in my jounal I keep,
write my secrets here, then sleep.
My feeling subsides when I awake.
Just ready for more that I'll have to face.
Its such a tough fight.
I feel so alone.
My life, I feel is done and gone.
But somehow I make it through.
My guardian angel must want me to.
There must be a reason to go on.
Just have to fight this, have to be strong.
So here I am in the same day,
still looking for good to come my way.
I'll wait a bit longer, and hope it will come.
Then this nightmare will be done.

Almost did it,
went to low.
So sad it hurts,
and just wont go.
A voice comes forth
and asks for help.
Where does it come from?
Can it be myself?
Hurts so bad,
stomache aches.
This isn't life,
it's a mistake.
I want to go.
I want to stay.
Different feelings everyday.
Here I stand,
Alone...

A Little Girl

A little girl
with spirit and glow

A little girl
I wanted to know.

A little girl
who had lots of dreams

A little girl
so innocent and clean.

A little girl
who had it all.

A little girl
who was so small.

A little girls
shattered dreams

A little girls
silent screams.

A little girls
trust and is betrayed

A little girl,
lies frozen in shame

That little girl,where did she go?
That little girl I wanted to know...

A little girl hides deep inside,
No one can hear her silent cry.

Little girl?
Can't speak out why?

The little girl,
starts to cry.

Little girl
Who is she?

Why that little girl
is inbedded in me.

And The Music Continues....

With hope and love...Kim
