41. The Gray Zone
Why do I fade to gray when everyone else is bright?
Why am I without color living between black and white?
Why am I held captive in a place that is unknown?
Why am I invisible and living in the gray zone?

Marcia,
It is now July 9, 2025.
Are things any better?
Prayers are with you, even though I do not know you except for your poems on this website.
God bless. -
42. Lost At Sea
I will bury my beating heart
Somewhere, deep in the sand
Crabs and seagulls will fight to tear it apart
As my soul is cursed to wander land -
43. Depression Blues
My head is not right today.
I have no idea why it's this way.
It switches from one thought to another. -
44. The Countdown
"Count to 10," they said,
"Deep breaths and it will pass,
because the feelings that consume you won't stay, and they won't last,"
but with each and every land mine that goes off within my head, -
45. Living A Lie
Walking into a typhoon,
Swimming against the tide,
That's just how it feels,
When my truth I have to hide. -
46. Waves
I was just sitting there,
Watching TV,
When a wave of sadness
Washed over me. -
47. Darkness
No words for a state that I cannot express
Like gravity just holds me here in this mess
An invisible force stealing my air
A looming dark cloud and no one's aware -
48. Behind This Face
Behind this calm face there is a raging storm,
Like a war in my head since the day I was born.
Behind this smile there is a lonely sad frown, -
49. Tidal Wave
In our darkest nights and our brightest days,
emotions fill us like tidal waves.
They can drag us down and pull us in, -
50. Hope
Have you ever felt trapped behind metal bars,
Or watched all your cuts turn to scars?
Have you tried to escape the pain in your soul,
But you just couldn't seem to fit that hole? -
51. When You Look At Me
When you look at me,
What do you see?
I bet if you look deep enough
You would see right through me. -
52. Together
So--this is where we are.
After coming so far,
This is what it's come to.
After all we've been through, -
53. Feel Again
Much time I now spend, watching
Watching as others pass by, living
Living their lives
I watch not for care of wanting to know them -
54. If Only It Were Me
The wind blows
The sun shines
The grass grows
The air smells of pines -
55. A Prayer By Me
No one knows what I feel today
Or that I'm dying inside.
No one knows the pain I'm in,
For it's nothing a smile can't hide. -
56. Death
Time stops
And stands still
Each day
Seems like a year -
57. Finding Joy
Have you seen Joy? I have not seen her in so, so long,
I miss her, oh how I miss her and her heartwarming song.
I keep searching and searching and asking why -
58. Stronger Than You
There you are, sneaking upon me!
From the corner of my eye, you make no sound, but I can see!
I ignore you're there, but you grow each day. -
59. My Death
A silent shadow
stalking me in the night.
The doors are open
but I cannot see the light. -
60. Cries
I feel the tears fall as I lay here and cry.
Nobody knows that all my happiness is a lie.
You see, I can't really smile; I haven't in a while.
