Hello, I am on this forum to express my thoughts and feelings in regards to my depression. My husband and I are going through marriage "hell" and I have become very depressed. I have written the following to express how I feel, I call it "Precious, Isn't It?" Here goes...
Why? I ask myself over and over and over, and yet my eyes are still flowing with tears.
Tears I try so hard to hold . Tears I try not to show. Tears that give me no control.
I wonder, and I wonder, what have I done? Why this pain that just won't leave me, leave my mind, my body, my soul.
I often wonder and ask myself "Am I supposed to be here?", "Am I meant to go on?"
To go on with all this pain in the very depth of my heart. In the very depth of my soul.
I often ask myself if it will ever go away.
I cry and I cry and I cry realizing that I have been beaten to the core of my broken heart, my broken body, my broken mind, my broken soul.
To feel alone, sheltered. To not be seen. To not be heard. To not be felt.
I'm not breathing. I'm not living. I'm not here.
When you give all that you have, all that you feel, all that you are, and pain and suffering is all that you've endured. To be made to feel that your existance is nothing. Your life is nothing. Your meaning is nothing, and most of all, your love is nothing, you are nothing.
When will it come? The end? Why will it take you? For we have no control over our heart stopping it's beat. Beating, beating, beating, beating, until one day your heart cries. Your mind dies. Your body dies, your heart dies, your soul dies, you die.
You die for the pain is cutting you in pieces. The pain cuts you up like a puzzle.
A broken puzzle, impossible to put back together. How can you, when you have lost some of those pieces, where other pieces are no longer to be found?
Your mind is like a puzzle. Your heart is like a puzzle. Your soul is like a puzzle.
When you can no longer find and fit those pieces of the puzzle together, you are no longer you.
You become numb, you become lifeless, you become dead. Dead. Dead. Dead to the very depth of your soul.
What am I? When am I? How am I? Why am I here? Does anybody really care?
Do you see me, hear me, feel me? Do you touch me, comfort me, care for me?
I ask and wonder, but most of all, I long for answers, true, genuine, sincere, honest answers.
I don't see it. I don't hear it. I don't feel it.
Am I undeserving of all that makes my heart beat, my blood flow joyously through my veins?
Am I undeserving of happiness, contentment, true expressions of love, affection, and passion?
I have not seen through my eyes but through my heart, my lonely dying heart.
My heart that always gave in hopes of feeling my existance. My existance.
The existance which brings me love, happiness, joy, contentment.
The existance of my being, my compassion, my passion, my undying love, my devotion, my smile, and most of all, my true existance. My true soul. My true me. Precious, precious me.
For we chose our destiny. Really? Do we really? We chose with our never giving up, undying heart.
The heart which gives us life, to live to the fullest of to our ending days.
The heart which brings much joy and misery.
The heart that keeps us living.
Living to enjoy love and accept who we are, why we are, how we are, and most of all, the heart which gives us true existance, true purpose, true life.
Precious, precious heart. Isn't it?
