Why am I here.

Tue, 11/20/2018 - 06:19 -- G.92

As I lay here thinking of what could have been I find myself with the fullest life I could ever have but the emptiness of my heart is drowning out all that is good.

I think if this is all it’s meant to be then why am I here, why do I occupy the space of someone who could be brilliant, why do I breath the air of someone who could change the world.

Why do I exist in place of someone who could life a full life. 

People would say I’m rich not because of money but because I have a loving family , caring friends and many opportunities but why am I still wiping the tears from my face? 

I have a hole in my heart they can’t be filled with any material possessions, I have an echo in my soul that can only be silenced by true love.

But what is true love in this superficial world that we live in , does true love still exist amongst the cars , houses , technology or “perfect” bodies. 

Because if true love requires all those things then I’ll rather leave this earth sooner than intended. 

G.

Search and receive the gift of hope ... it seems we cannot develop it even if we try ...

Don't leave us...

emptiness is all that is Good

Because you are Great.

Unlimited unconditional unconventional Love

And is just as true as the ideal in

Love and living the love that is everywhere.

 

THE Power in the poem is yours ... you Know.

Thank you for these words , they have made a terrible day better with a slight realization that people do listen and sometimes those people are complete strangers
