Poetry and music really helps me get through life.


I would love to hear some original writings, poetry or not. Or if you don't write maybe a favorite quote you have?


What is your favorite kinda music, songs, that help get through the darkest hours?

Hello, I have the radio on most of the day. The station of choice plays all sorts of music sometimes I get up and dance around other times I just sing along. Music gets me through. I also write a daily blog which is sometimes funny sometimes sad and sometimes just satirical.

I like a bit of Art too but way too anxious to visit galleries these days.

Same carolin. I'm always listening to Pandora.
And jesseD.. thank you. I just listened to that song, it's beautiful and calm me.

My song for my feelings right now is doomed-bring me the horizon.

Bmth is one of my favorite bands, old or new stuff. They really help me with my depression.

Anything heavy metal really gets me through the darkness.

My journal contains some of my original poems. I had one published that isn't in my journal. I'll have to look for it. You like heavy metal? Are you familiar with Savatage?

Carolin57.....if you go to my journals...the ones called Lies and Silly Halloween Poems.....you'll find some of my poems. Lease...Savatage and some of its members were kind of the precursor to Trans-Siberian Orchestra. My favorite Savatage songs are "Believe", "Sleep" and "Edge of Thorns". Trans-Siberian Orchestra used to perform Believe in their show years ago. I'm not sure why.....but it always moves me to tears. I have friends that are also fans....and when things get difficult....we remind each other that we need to believe....not necessarily in a religious sense.....but just believing in something....love, belief in ourselves....anything. Some of my closer friends know the holidays are hard on me because of all the family members and friends I have lost.....I get a lot of things with the word "Believe" on them sent to me during the holidays...cards, ornaments, ....this year someone sent me a soap dish. Lol. It took years for my husband to notice, but he finally said something this year about all the things we have around the house that say Believe. Haha.

This song, sung in this way, 4 part harmony, without the rap carries alot of meaning to at my age and gets me through the day when things begin to go wrong.

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
