Do you Ever Feel Invisible and Isolated?



       I know I haven’t written in my blog in a few weeks, I’ve missed writing and hearing from you all, more than I can say. I’ve been having a very tough time lately and I was taking some time to pull myself together. Some days we get so tired of dealing with all this, but I had to pull myself up from the boot straps and keep pressing on.  Tonight’s topic is “Feeling Invisible “Anytime I feel overwhelmed, and weary I turn to my writing because it’s my escape, my outlet  from this life, but its my way to  work through all the emotions I feel raging inside of me.
       How many of you have felt Invisible? As though you’re standing in a crowded room and no one seems to notice that you’re crying, everyone just walks by, as if you’re not even there. You have tears streaming down your face, and you’re screaming at the top of your lungs, and no one even looks your way. Have you felt like that? So many of us are struggling, many of my dear ic sisters come to my mind, and my heart goes out to each of you, because I know.
          I understand, when your face is wet from your tears, I see them. When your heart is broken I feel it. Even some of those closest to us are dealing with so much themselves, its not that they are avoiding us, it’s that they too are trying to grab a hold of their Hope and not give up and give in the fight.
        Those times we feel like we’re fighting this alone, that those around us, don’t look into our eyes and see our pain for what it is, they think it’s an act, and they think you play the part well. This pain is real and its raw and it our reality, we can run from it, we want to be seen for WHO we are, we are survivors, we fight a war every day, within our own bodies.
          When they choose to look away, it hurts more than the pain, is that possible? Yes because  we need that support, we need the reassurance that we aren’t alone, and there will be those in our life who accepts us right where we are, all our perfect imperfections, and no matter how hard we cry, no matter how low we get, or what tomorrow holds, they will be there, right by our side.
         Nothing hurts more than when those we love turn a blind eye to our pain. We don’t expect you to fix it, just with your presence is all we ask, that’s not too much. We want to be heard and need to be understood. We weren’t meant to walk this road of suffering alone.
Here is my message~ YOU’RE NOT Invisible~ your Irreplaceable~ YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL~ I’m not going to turn away to your pain. I won’t turn a deaf ear to your struggles. I don’t have it all together BUT TOGETHER we can HAVE IT ALL~ Here is my hand, let me be here for you~

Poem~ "Not Another Day"

                       Good evening readers,I know its been awhile since I wrote in my blog and I apologize for that. This entry won’t be a regular entry I feel led to share with you another one of my poems to encourage your weary souls. I know that a lot of my IC and fibro and many suffering from chronic pain are dealing with a lot, their health is failing, and they feel overwhelmed, pressed down from so many different angles.       Today my pain is so severe, I was late getting my period, and we know how that flares our IC, but I forced myself to go outside and just sit in the sun for a little bit. It was a time of refreshment and peace. The sky was so blue, as blue as can be, the sun was so warm on my face and the clouds so puffy. I then spent a hour just reading my bible, I felt the Holy spirit drench me with His peace. I put myself aside and ...

I Give Permission

  Put away that smile and brave face. We are not required to stay strong, we all feel weak at times. There is no shame in this. There are more than enough days that I lay in bed and just cry, until I no long have tears to cry with. I cry because of the relentless pain, I cry because I want to be free of this monster that tried to wreck havoc on my body. It does to my body in many ways, but I refuse to let it do that to my soul. This is about giving ourselves room and permission to cry and to let it all out. I need to be honest with myself, I hate this I really do, and WE all do. It’s not fair it feels good to be real and raw and speak it the way it is. I know many of you will be able to relate to this. The day’s I’m bedridden, that’s tough. But I give myself permission to not be on top of it all. It’s ok to cry its ok to breakdown, I give you permission. I’m sure you’ve heard this before; TEARS are a cleansing to the soul and spirit. God gave us tears, it he wanted us to always ...

Poetry~ "Its In Moments Like This I Live For"

Another night of endless pain, hard to remember   the life i had before all this pain began, another night I face, the world sleeps as I lie awake thinking of another time, another place, a place far away from all the pain and the tears, if only I could go back so many years.     As I sit here with tears falling from my eyes I cling to the words I   know my Savior said” never will I leave you, never will I forsake you” its in moments like this I so desire to be wrapped up in the arms of my loving Lord.     Outside I can hear the river flow on by, and the small waterfall at the end. it’s the way I love to   begin and end my days, hearing the sound of God’s creation   the sound reaches into my soul I feel its echo through my body, I sense the peace and the tranquility it brings its in moments like this, amidst the pain that I live for.   Day after day as time ticks away, the hours slip by, they give away to days, days turn into weeks...
