~The Thoughts And Pain~

The tears flow down my bright red cheeks uncontrollaby.
The pounding in my head begs the tears to stop.
The thought of going through another pain filled day is too much to take.
The fear entangled around my heart and soul won't release it's grip.
The days just come and go, blank pages not being filled with joy of any kind.
The lack of basic needs not being met is enough to want to end this pain...
The love I see on my kids faces pushes me through.
The thought of leaving them behind is too much sadness to handle.
The thought of better days ahead I try to keep in front of my mind.
The only thought now is when will all this pain end?

Better days are ahead. I know those feelings well. I was there many times when I was raising my children. My kids are what kept me going. They needed me and even though I was falling apart inside I had to be strong for them. You can do this and you will get through it. Life is far from ideal now but things will get better..hang in there.

Thank you for sharing what's in your heart right now. You have such an eloquent way of expressing yourself. No matter what obstacles you face in life, always persevere and push forward. If not for yourself, always do it for the sake of your children. There are many days where that's the only thing keeping me going in life. I love my children too much to ever give up.

@moffittjc Thank you, I usually write expressively when I am feeling down.
I am trying to remember this is temporary but apparently I am not as strong as I thought.
Not eating, not sleeping, stressing and barely surviving has definitely taken it's toll on me!

Don´t want you to get down.
I usually write when I am feeling happier or feeling strongly about something but on the positive side mostly.

Yes we can get through anything for our kids. That is why I am still here.
And remember your husband too. I am sure he feels down too.

@TiarasOceanView Yes we can. I know he's down as well, we are arguing more lately and it's adding more stress to us. I hate the whole thing.

@LovingMyBabies Well no wonder..it is way stressful..so much responsibility. It is a terrible situation. It is no joke trying to get settled in a very unstable situation.

That is a very well written, passion filled poem. You do have a talent at expressing yourself. But, please do know Jesus is with you and you have a purpose in this world. Better days are ahead.

You are going through so much right now, that you are understandably overwhelmed. But, like my Mom says, we don't know what tomorrow holds, all our troubles could vanish. Let the love on your kids faces and the hope of a better tomorrow soothe you a little in these tough times.xx

Focus on the good things and the bad will lessen. Keep yourself busy with your loves. This is a temporary bump in the road that is passable and you will get around it. Big hugs to you lady.

@Elusivebutterfly Yeah, I am trying not to focus on my stomach screaming at me to eat something we don't have. I'm trying not to focus on the smallest space we have ever lived in as a family.
But I am not as strong as I should be I suppose because this is really killing me-all of it.
Someday I hope to be able to look back and this will be just a bad memory. But right now I am hurting, and worried.

Why? what happened to you lately? I hope you be more courageous since the children loves and needs you the most. You are probably stress out over the last few days. Don't give up, that's all I could tell you.

@letranknight2015 Well, we became homeless with 5 children. We don't have enough food to eat. We are in a 1 bedroom apartment with 7 people. Our truck broke down on us and the water pump had to be replaced. We are out of money and my husband won't get paid for a week...
I think the better question would have been what hasn't happened to us lately...

@kobesbuddy No, it's not physical pain-it's emotional pain from stress and worry. Thank you for praying.

@LovingMyBabies Have you checked at the welfare office. Surely they could supply you with food stamps.

@RubyHawk We do get food stamps already but we don't get them until the 7th. It's just a matter of waiting til then.
