Darkened

November 12, 2008

The smile is gone for now.

So is the joy.

The beauty of life unimportant

somehow amazed that it ever was.

The light is dimmed as if a romantic setting is near. Though it’s visit is shallow and of no real appeal.

My life is darkened by a lie not of my own making.

A lie that has its hold on me and has slowly

destroyed me. I don’t like my darkened self.

Not one bit.

Truth. . .

Do you want to know the truth?

 

Life is hard.

 

Anyone could tell this is the truth by looking at this blog.  My prolonged absence has probably lost all of my readers.  I know I had a couple. 

 

Truth is life has been horrible.  This is written in the past tense because it’s getting better all the time now.

 

All of my past posts were delusions.  My optimistic spirit shining through but I was not happy. 

 

I have been unhappy for the last three years.

 

Marriage.  My marriage is at an end after only three years. 

 

A failure.  A fraud.  A mistake.

 

These things can be overlooked by the fact that I am making movement toward fixing that mistake now.

 

I have been journaling olde-school for the last year and I will be posting some of the things from the distant past (earlier part of this year as far as this journal goes) things from not so distant past, and things that are happening now. 

 

THERE WILL BE POETRY!  YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!

 

There will be art.  There will be hope.  There is pain that I wish to purge so if you will bare with me I’ll get it out and over with before you know it. 

 

I guess you could say it’s a kind of re-birth for me. 

 

I’m ready.

 

Are you?
