My Only Faith

Posted on January 9, 2012

When I feel as low as I do right now, one of the songs which really resonates with my feelings is “The Wrestler”, a song which The Boss penned in 2008 for the film of the same name. It has featured in a few of my blogposts over the past year now, but I include it again today to help explain something. “These things that have comforted me I drive away (anything more) This place that is my home I cannot stay (anything more) My only faith is in the broken bones and bruises I display“ It is a very dangerous thing to hold the pain which has crippled us as also the thing which drives us, however many of us find ourselves in…

The Promised Land

Posted on January 7, 2012

I lie awake with this pain that binds me Wishing for a newfound story To define my life not by pain, But one where everything will be okay again.   I wake up in the morning full of dread For fear of another day of pain ahead I fight and fight, I continue this plight But will I ever make it to the promised land?   Driving past the cliff above me I wonder could it absolve me?

I think I was in denial. In all honesty to live one life but appear to be living another to those around us is something which sadly many of us fall victim to at one point or another in our lives. After all, how can we expect anyone who isn’t us to understand exactly how it is that we feel? To be paralysed by pain and unhappiness amongst…

It Is All My Fault!

Posted on December 10, 2010

“Take your life in your own hands, and what happens? A terrible thing: no one to blame.” – Erica Jong   I really really really wanted this article to be posted on the 9th of December, as to create the impression that I am a dedicated blogger, and post something every day. Unfortunately it is now 23:24, so by the time this is published I can pretty much be sure in saying that it will be the 10th of December 2010. I will have missed my target – bugger. I suppose that is the way of life, or at least it can be. We can set out with a plan as clear as day in our minds – as I did a few hours…
