Time is ticking away...

It really does not matter the reason. Why hear the same song and dance? Most have stopped dancing to the tunes I sing anyways... It is just too much, and I have finally cracked. It's no use. I am tired of pretending. The weight of it all is just crushing me. Coming down on me so hard, it's agony. I can't get off this train leading to nowhere, unless it's a pitstop to ride the hampster wheel. You get the point. The pendulum swings back and forth. Tick tock, tick tock... The noise won't stop. I am going downhill fast. Something has to change. But what? Shall I be a doormat? Will that satisfy the universe? I can't stand anymore. The branches I need to hold me up, have all but withered away. I keep hearing the records play, of how inadequate I am. The only justice is the judgment I hear. The screams won't stop. Peace can't break through the steel walls. Laughter has been silenced by the mute button. Tears have become a raging river. The prison has been locked, and the keys thrown into the abyss. A decision has to be made. There is less than 48 hours left. But I lack the ability to satisfy all. So will anyone out there break the silence of heaven, to give me wings to fly again? If not... Then someone bring the bugle. It might be needed to give the benediction of a life, that never learned to live...

@teresatrotter There's a place in Gainesville called Grace Marketplace. It's a "one-stop-shop" for homeless services. I wonder if they could help you, if you could get down to Gainesville?

I don't want to be homeless again. After doing it for one year and ten months, I can't take that again...but at this point, I need a miracle by tomorrow, or I am going to have start packing my bags. And it will probably kill me this time, since my heart is failing again.

@moffittjc - Yes... They help very little and only once every 18 months. Again... I am sorry about your dad.

@Rajo14 - I have asked, but it takes time to be referred to one.

I do enjoy writing. I want to write a bestseller one day.

It seems like you would appreciate someone who can listen and give you counsel. Would you be open to talking with someone? I hate that you are alone to sort things out. We all need someone.

You mentioned some people, reconnecting with some people from a chapel, and who you added to your Facebook? I don't remember the exact discussion, but have you reached out to them with your troubles? Surely these old friends would offer some help to you. You shouldn't have to be feeling so alone.

Listen Bro...you can't satisfy everybody. I know because I have tried also. Just satisfy yourself and aim to satisfy your loved ones.

If this is about you, you should never give up. There are times that are dark but the light is always there eventually. You just have to hang in there and push through it. If you need someone to talk to, I am here
