David

this boy is a STAR OF THE FUTURE

I'm not ok. I miss my Dad something fierce. I am losing my husband. I am fighting for him, trying to get him to hang on...praying he can regain some strength to stay with me....

It is Dad's birthday next week. God help me, I am mad at him. He should be here! He promised me he would be! I desperately need him.

This song effects me, at first because of Dad... and now because of Lynn. It is in my head all the time. Sometimes I scream the words instead of sing them. Sometimes I cry through the whole song...sometimes I sit numb, wondering how someone else could write just how I feel.

I am breaking, but I am hanging on.......

BROKEN

The broken clock is a comfort, it helps me sleep tonight
Maybe it can stop tomorrow from stealing all my time
I am here still waiting though I still have my doubts
I am damaged at best, like you've already figured out

The broken locks were a warning you got inside my head
I tried my best to be guarded, I'm an open book instead
I still see your reflection inside of my eyes
That are looking for a purpose, they're still looking for life

I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing
with a broken heart that's still beating
In the pain , is there healing
In your name I find meaning
So I'm holdin' on
I'm barely holdin' on to you

I'm hangin' on another day
Just to see what you throw my way
And I'm hanging on to the words you say
You said that I will be OK

The broken lights on the freeway left me here alone
I may have lost my way now, haven't forgotten my way home

I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart that's still beating
In the pain, there is healing
In your name I find meaning
So I'm holdin' on,
I'm barely holdin' on to you


I'm holdin' on
I'm barely holdin' on to you

The Climb ~~ Miley Cyrus
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NG2zyeVRcbs

I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming but
There's a voice inside my head sayin,
You'll never reach it,
Every step I'm taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but I
Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what?s waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing,
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes they knock me down but
No I'm not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
And I,
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on, cause

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes I'm going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

There's always going to be another mountain
I'm always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain't about how fast I get there,
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

Keep on moving
Keep climbing
Keep the faith baby
It's all about
It's all about
The climb
Keep the faith
Keep your faith

Every Day
 

What a great song--I had never heard it, but it is beautiful and very fitting--thanks for posting it---hutch

poem
 

This poem made me cry--thats a good thing I think because sometimes it seems as if I keep my feelings and frustrations buried and they build up like a volcano. I try not to do this, but after all this time it seems to just automatically bury itself. I used to be able to talk and deal with things so much better but I think I am just tired of everything, and especially tired of putting so much burden on my loved ones. This is why I am so grateful for NT. To be able to discuss openly on this forum with people who REALLY
DO understand is such a priceless gift. Thanks for posting this poem---it helped me to let out some of my true feelings and sadness, but also gave me much strength----many thanks---hutch

I'm glad you've joined this forum family hutch. :grouphug:
