Joie De Vivre Perdu
I fear that I have lost it, the joy for life I’ve had;
I used to be so happy, but now I’m often sad!
Mistakes I’ve made inundate, my aged vulnerable brain;
They attack my positive thinking, my smiles are mostly feigned!
.
I feel like an old volcano, with pressure building up;
That soon I’ll blow a gasket, and then I will erupt!
My sanity will spew out, then they’ll take me to a ward;
Surrounded by other lunatics, where madmen all are stored!
.
.
I’ve reached dire depths
The funny farm is waiting
For me to lose it

Hello Larry...
They don't make you take a number do they?
You can just walk-in?
I don't like take a number...
Sit, Sit, Sit...
Doesn't it make you feel part Dog?
Sometimes, it takes medication?
I can't take the stuff...
Great write!
Thank you for sharing...

Hi sparrowsong,
Yes, it is a " dog eat dog" world! I do medicate myself though, with multiple glasses of wine a day, which bring me a short-lived euphoria. Thank you for your lovely comment.
Love,

Sometimes I wish there was a place I could go, a place that won't judge me, a place that won't document every crazy thing I say, no permanent record, just freedom from this economic enslavement camp that I signed up to.
I need a building with sanity as its paint, and calm as its roof, I need to be told it will be OK, that's it OK to lose your mind every once in a while, I need to walk in and walk back out in a few months without the banks banging at my door, I need my family to understand that this is something very difficult to comprehend, this thing called life, it's breaking me down slowly but I do have one thing that keeps it together, that's cosmo, I know we are all busy but it's nice to go on and read stuff like this, words that hold me, like yours Larry. To talk to real people without judgement, thank you so much.
Sorry Larry, your words just set me off, I had to say something, great poetry, I hope you find solace, happy new year.
Dear Nine Eleven,
In the almost ten years that I have been on Cosmo, your comment ranks in the five most beautiful I have ever received. It moved me deeply, overflowing with compassion and understanding. Like you, Cosmo is one of the joys of my life, but my travel schedule limits my participation. I hope that we both find some peace of mind, the sooner the better.
Peace and Love,
