sometimes I get so involved with helping others I forget about myself.Is this normal?
Sunday, January 18, 2009 |
by: nicoleaco...
I was just wondering,sometimes I focus so much on helping my friends I forget about Nicole.I spent the weekend helping a friend who was having some hallucinations and then helped a friend who lost his job.It made me feel very good to be there for them but I also wonder how helpful is this for me? Is it a balance between helping others and helping yourself or is it therapeutic to just help others ...

God works in Mysterious Ways,
we just have to look around and find the reason why.
For myself, I guess it was my calling.
I never thought in a million years I would get the virus,
that my 3 brothers and boy friend, had contracted,
then in 2000, I am diagnosed with it.
I knew there was a reason, but why,
then I started towards getting the necessary treatment,
got rid of the virus,

“Why me?” she asks as she pulls the scissors down her hip yet again
“Why me!?” “WHY ME?!?”
Her heart burns
Her throat aches
Her hip stings
But nothing comes…
The tears start to pour out of her face
Because the blood won’t pour out of her hip
“This must be what going crazy feels like,” she thinks to herself
As she goes to find something sharper

Depths of dark
an evil woman
stole my art
heart beating
skipping beats in heaviness
sinking pain so deep
pills and sleep
and touching earth so deep
running
praying for release
dead dog
dead bird so sweet
tears beneath my feet
making friends with trees
falling to my knees
i look up again ~
this is my own photo.
and these are my own words.
~ love, moonstar ~

Every single evening
As I'm lying here in bed,
This tiny little Prayer
Keeps running through my head:
God bless all my family
Wherever they may be,
Keep them warm
And safe from harm
For they're so close to me..
And God, there is one more thing
I wish that you could do;
Hope you don'...1 Recommendation11 Comments -

Took a chance on asking me,
if I would go with them.
Knowing I never go out, especially places with many people
well I decided to give it a shot.
I am feeling much better this year,
besides you'll never guess

It's the Eagles
They have always been a big part of my younger days,

The Last Time.
If I knew it would be the last time
that I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.
If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your vo...3 Recommendations9 Comments -

I Sit here alone
I sit here and think of you remembering our special moments
A smile escapes upon my lips as you lean in for that sweet kiss that leaves me breathless as it always did.
Those rides in the wind on your toy and best friend where we laughed and we cried and sometimes just sighed left us giggling from the delight of such a beautiful sight.
Now I sit here alone wrenched in pain lonely and ...2 Recommendations5 Comments -

It is called the knowing. I can relate to it myself. I hope that u all like it too.
Piece by piece i peel away,the calloused layers of emotion which i have built up over the years.
Slowly,and gently,i remove my masks which hides me from the world,exposing me to the light, forcing me to trust you.
One by one,I drop the screens I hold before my mind. Until finally i stand before you in naked truth,and...1 Recommendation6 Comments -

Following are entries to a contest by The Washington Post, in which respondents had to write a two-line romantic poem...except that the last line had to be as un-romantic as the first line was romantic.
1. My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife;
Marrying you really screwed up my life.
2. I see your face when I am dreaming.
That's why I always wake up screaming.
