"Aid from a Friend"

"Aid from a Friend" It’s Feeling mighty lonesome in here. (I wonder) If anyone would care, If I disappeared. My agenda is blank. My Roll a’ deck is clear. It is feeling very empty inside of here. I’m feeling lost in ambiguity. I feel a lost of my identity. If from this earth my soul would choose to flee. Would anyone shed a mournful tear for me? I’m in need of a friend. So that our wounds we could mend. I’m sinking deep inside of this sand. I need a friend to lend me a hand. So I am seeking a little aid. I need a pal to save my day. He or she might not change every single thing. But at least (to my face) bring a smile or grin. This world can slam you down, bring you a frown. A friend can alleviate the pain, just by acting like a clown. Yet, here I sit all alone in the dark… in sheer misery. Loneliness is slowly and surely gutting me and killing me. I’m in dire need of a friend. So that a fatal wound I could mend. I’m being devoured by this horrid sand. I‘m in need of a friend that understands. Beneath my scalp is a childlike sadness. Thinking deeply on a friendless past. Maybe I’m just destined for solitude. Maybe this pain will forever last. So in my dreams, I will scream in horror. Like a little boy shedding tears over an ice cream that fell on dirt. For my friends have always been inanimate. Yet, they cant bring you happiness or make you hurt. I don’t care if I get hurt or wounded. I don’t care if the friendship does not last. I just want some type of memories. Recollections of a friendship from the past. I’m in need of a friend. So that our wounds we could mend. I’m sinking deep inside of this sand. I need a friend to lend a helpful hand. ZeN

dear breath, I wanted to offer you a word of comfort as you say you are walking in the saddness. If you have read my posts you know that I have an ayurveda clinic in UK and i run wisdom circles where people come along and share their stories. many people have experienced saddness for what ever reason, I would like to say that I would kindly offer your saddness to our wisdom circle to send love, understanding, compassion and lighter spirits to help you to know that others are truly thinking about you. We whole heartedly believe that the energy of our thoughts will make a difference to you.I hope you do to and feel the measure of who you are, which is GREAT.x
