\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Deception Of Rejection<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Life goes on despite the depravity.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

At least, I live, though you left me.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

There is a thin line between misery & insanity.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I am having trouble with each, to a degree.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I cannot eat. I have no motivation.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I just sit and stare, in contemplation.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Wondering where I could have gone wrong.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Why the change when he came along?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Blaming ones self is not the answer.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I thought I had a lasting romance here.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I was wrong and am suffering now.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I have to put it behind me somehow.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It is an uphill battle but, life must go on.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I can\u2019t even tell right from wrong.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I am so depressed my system has stalled.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Like a pirate who has been keel hauled.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I space out to find an escape from it.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

To other dimensions where I would fit.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Places where people really care.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I feel like I should stay there. I swear.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Coming back here is like entering hell.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Like being trapped in a deep dark well.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Friends come around and try to help.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

If they only knew how bad I felt.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Maybe they would leave me alone.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Instead, they just make me groan.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I \u00a0remember how it used to be.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Then, how it is now. I want to be free.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I can\u2019t take much more of this.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I have to check out. Throw the switch.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Shut down this sick system for good.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Go where I can act like I should.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

A place where all is love & happiness.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m talking about a place of eternal bliss.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes!! That\u2019s the place for me.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I think I will remain there for eternity.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
