it will pass
we know
but
while it holds us there
crushed in the dark
while it sucks away
all our confidence
while it allows
life to overwhelm us
excuse us
if we don't smile
excuse us
if we moan and groan
and float about like
miserable rain clouds
we do know
how lucky we are
we do know
we are loved
we do know
we are not as worthless as we think
we
do
know
but we can't feel it
right now

All of us feel weak and tire sometime. I believe we must have concern for other and ourselves. A few kind words can change a person mind if we try. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Hugs Audra – thank you. Brought tears to my eyes in a good way 🙂 I’m glad my poem has expressed something that isn’t just myself, if you know what I mean.

I do know what you mean. Frustrating at times, isn’t it?

No Suzy Blue, this says a lot of things to a lot of people. Aptly timed given my, errmm, hiccup over the weekend.
We should all have some tee shirts made up.

We all feel this way about something sometime. Hopefully not all the time.
When I am in the blue mood, I want to be allowed time to work through the navy blue and come back at least to a sky blue.
Like others I really liked your poem. 🙂

Thanks for reading and I’m glad you liked it 🙂 I like your idea of the navy blue to sky blue – there are definitely different levels, or shades, of blue
