where are my dreams
where are my dreams when i need them most
and not just the dreams we see in our heads
in the dark of night
my dreams have become shattered, broken
my life seeming to be torn apart
a few years ago life set a blow
that began to tear at the fabric of my soul
like a bird
caught in a cage
beneath a shroud
forced to be quiet
forced to be subdued
i see the hole in front of me
been their before
quite a few times
they say knowledge brings power
perhaps this knowledge will be my weapon
to never let go
scared of the black pit
know i do not want it
see the slippery tether
keeping me sane
grabbing hold
with shaking hands
and when my hands give out
i bite the tether with all my might
refuse to fall
for knowledge is power
and that power will give me strength
strength to care
strength to love
strength to live
though the tunnel is long and dark
knowledge is power
to know a light will show
to lead me out
grasping the tether
wrapping it around my wrist
never give up
life is to precious
a hard lesson learned long ago

You have a lot of very strong feelings expressed in this! I'm sorry that you feel down. But it also seems like you maintain a lot of hope - especially through your creativity. This is great.
Yesterday I actually wrote a forum post about expressing one's own feelings. I think it's very important for people to be able to have an outlet for all their emotions and thoughts. You might want to check it out if you're interested in joining health communities that focus on feelings and self-expression. Or just need a pick-me-up. :)
