My soul has shattered (Dark poem)

  • NB: Just got to keep going a little longer.

    My soul has shattered

    My soul has shattered
    No longer whole
    Will I survive?
    I no longer know…

    I am unrecognizable
    Unsure of myself
    Afraid of the future…
    But the past as well.

    I long for safety
    But who do I trust?
    Without my soul
    I feel so lost

    I cling to hope
    What little there is
    Should I keep going?
    Just for a bit?

    Hi Matty,

    I’m sorry you feel so lost. Small slivers of hope have kept me going in the past when I had my darkest days. I wish that those same slivers f hope find and help you.

    All my best wishes for brighter days ahead.

  • Hope you shine soon.

  • Your poem resonates so much with me. There is always hope, even if it is just a little spark. Reach inside yourself, and you will know who to trust. One practice I use is at the end of the day; I mentally list five things I am grateful for (I started with a list of three items).

    There is hope even when your brain is telling you there isn’t. Keep going, even if it is one moment at a time. I know how hard this is, but I also know how strong you are Matty.
