WARNING

Tuesday Blues

Have you ever felt the hatred, jealousy and anger flowing in your veins, poisoning each part of your body with a burning sting?

I have!

Have you ever felt so sad and so alone that it burns you deep down in the pit of your stomach, like a sickness?

I have!

Have you ever sat on the brink, feeling your last droplets of hope run from your eyes down your face and soak into your clothes from the tears you are crying?

I have!

Have you ever lost everything in nothing at all and have the feeling that you’ll never ever be the same?

I have!

Have you ever been locked in with your thoughts, convincing yourself that you will never be good enough?

I have!

Have you ever had the feeling that there was an empty space inside of you and that you have to cut your own body to fill the void that joy left?

I have!

Have you ever actually looked at the world we live in, with murder, rape, loss and no respect or compassion?

I have!

Is it so shocking that so many people are so unhappy…?
