The Doldrum

Ragazza Triste

 

Yes. You are nothing. You are boring, distant, you are so much of a waste. You disgust me. You make me sick. You are weak, too damn weak to admit how irrelevant you are. You lost your battle a long time ago, you ruined yourself with your own hands, you mocked every opportunity the world has presented to you. You don’t deserve a second chance. You had your chance but you turned it against yourself.

You are the weakest link. Why fight now? Let the darkness consume you, let yourself go. Don’t fight it.

Why do you keep trying? Why do you exist? Why do you search for a world that doesn’t closely resemble hell?

You can’t be saved. You have no place here. You are doomed to fail.You have failed. Walk through oblivion. Alone.

  1. I love it when coincidences pop up like this. I was just going to write a similar themed poem from the point of view of Hades… But I thought I’d let it stew for a a few days before putting pen to paper.

      1. Some days it’s an effort to just get out of bed. I know the feeling, though not the circumstance. I usually lose myself in some book or TV show when I feel this way, and to try and stop myself from thinking about stuff. Sometimes the mind just needs to turn off. This works for me… I don’t know if it’ll work for you, since everyone’s different, but it’s worth a try.

  3. Hope you are ok, my sweet friend. You are the opposite of everything written in this post. As long as we have breath in our body, the universe has some use for us – we may not be able to see it….but i do believe that is true.
    So we don’t have to fight the darkness – just move to the light. In easy steps, with a single smile, a single note of music, a single moment in sunshine. My best wishes and prayers for a shower of smiles upon all who worry they amount to naught. If we are alive, we are a shining star in creation…bit by bit we will figure out where we are to shine….no worries, only smiles 🙂

      1. It’s ok – life goes in cycles…sometimes we just need silence and quiet and then we can come back and be super-active. You are a wonderful blogger and such a giving person – nothing can change that! 🙂 Take it easy and keep smiling. love and hugs. 🙂

      1. It happens to all of us, and its okay to feel down and empty.
        We don’t have a control over others, as much as expectations are humane and they are pertinent for our functioning to constantly remind us that we are emotional beings, its necessary to always remember, its not your fault and you are not accountable for the actions of those around you. You are responsible for yourself and your happiness, make sure that remains intact ! 🙂
        Smile, cause that will straighten out things for you !

  13. You are so far from those descriptions in this post. I see such a beautiful person and I look at how so many people are taking the time to make sure you know that. Look at all these lives you are touching. Your light shines brighter than you think and I want you to know you are a special person. I don’t know your battles, but seeing that you still wake up every morning to face them tells me you are resilient. I hope you find your peace and happiness soon. Sending you a big warm hug, my friend. 🙂

      1. Oh, you’re very welcome, Ragazza. And don’t ever feel bad for being human. We all have our days (I had a very sad day yesterday). Sometimes it’s hard to smile and keep a happy spirit, even when we know we have so many reasons to be grateful. It happens. But, just remember that you always have people here that support you and you are so deserving of all the love and happiness you can receive. Never forget that. 😊💖

  16. OK. Having a church-lady moment here: There is a real enemy and he tells that kind of garbage to ALL of us. He’s LYING. The TRUTH is that you are loved just the way you are by a God who is everything you’ve ever wanted and more. He doesn’t offer a magic-wand solution, but He will take what you’ve got and turn it, piece by piece, into something of amazing and eternal beauty. Blessings!

  17. My dear Regazza what happened to that lovely heart? I see so many lies in this post. You are talented, you are valued, you are beautiful, you have meaning, you have purpose, you are strong, you are needed, you are a friend, a daughter, a woman of power, your destiny awaits, your smile encourages others, your readers click your posts to see what you have to say! You are so much more than these lies would have you believe! Don’t listen to them. Listen to the voices of those who love and appreciate you. Do what you love. Spend time with those who believe in you. Don’t listen to the naysayers. Dwell on the love of God who has a wonderful plan for your life. “I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11.
    Nothing happens by chance, not a raindrop, not a breath, not a laugh, or a tear, all of it builds towards something beautiful. Be encouraged, you are awesome! 🙂

  21. Well, it’s hard to indicate “like” when like might imply happy. I certainly appreciate what you say. My first reaction while reading was, I hope I never get on her bad side. But since this is in a first-person, confessional voice, my main reaction is, I’m sorry you’re on the bad side of you. Not without reason, even if you might not be right. I mean, there are reasons for feeling this way. The advice for writers is to keep writing. Is it fair advice to say for those of us who live to keep living? Keep living, please, and, if possible, be easy. Thank you.

Always remember, things happen for a reason. The ways might be hard and painful, but its always for the better. Just hold on to the good and you’ll be alright, you’ll be much stronger, you’ll see… 😇🙏☝👍👊

      1. One more thing that might be mildly reassuring for you: a few ‘dark nights of the soul’ are to be expected once in a while for those people in touch with their inner being. Some degree of suffering or a sense of ‘unsatisfactoriness’ is always necessary for spiritual progress. When you find a legitimate path and start progressing, the ups and downs should start to even out and become less frequent, and you won’t be so disturbed by them. Enough from me. Good luck!

  27. However dark this may be, I hope it’s a relief that you wrote it out. I know once it’s out it begins to fade away and you know exactly the type of emotions you’re up against.

  35. Beautiful prose! Sorry if I don’t read much of your material but I try to limit the time using my computer(other than writing) because I’ve seen that I’m keen on procrastinating and then strain my eyes. I’ll read now and then a poem or story of yours.
    Don’t worry if you’re feeling sad. Since you’re aware of that and you want it to change, it will in time. I feel a lot of boredom this summer that school is over, but I know it can’t reign on me forever. Nothing can.

  36. I like how pain connects people more than comfort. Once a great writer quoted that it was foolish to read a creation to know about the contemporaries and about the writer. I am not a believer of that idea. I think that the words dripping from a writer’s pen are his blood…and his state of mind, agony in your case, and the tumult of his life. Clearly you are in pain and troubled. Haunting past, isn’t? Mind sharing?

  38. What you wrote​ perfectly represents what Satan would say to us to push us toward self-destruction. What God tells us through Jesus, is completely the opposite. Your writing inspired me to share “God’s take” on this.

    Yes. You are nothing.
    I have called you by name: you are mine. (Isaiah 43: 1)

    You are boring, distant, you are so much of a waste.
    You formed my inmost being; you knit in my mother’s womb.
    I praise you because I am wonderfully made. (Psalm 139: 14)

    You disgust me. You make me sick.
    You are precious in my eyes and honored, and I love you. (Isaiah 43:4)

    You are weak, too damn weak to admit how irrelevant you are.
    “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.” I [Paul, the Apostle] will rather boast most gladly of my weaknesses, in order that the power of Christ may dwell within me. (II Corinthians 12:9)

    You lost your battle a long time ago, you ruined yourself with your own hands, you mocked every opportunity the world has presented to you.
    Do not love this world or the things of this world…The world and its enticement are passing away. But whoever does the will of God remains forever. (I John 2:15, 17)

    You don’t deserve a second chance. You had your chance, but you turned it against yourself.
    So he was left alone with the woman before him. Then Jesus straightened up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” She replied, “No one, sir.” Then Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go, [and] from now on do not sin any more.” (John 8: 9b-11)

    You are the weakest link. Why fight now? Let the darkness consume you, let yourself go. Don’t fight it.
    “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life. (John 8:12)

    Why do you keep trying? Why do you exist? Why do you search for a world that doesn’t closely resemble hell?
    All who are called by my name I created for my glory. (Is. 43:7)

    I consider that the sufferings of this present time are as nothing compared with the glory to be revealed for us. For creation awaits with eager expectation the revelation of the children of God; for creation was made subject to futility, not of its own accord but because of the one who subjected it, in hope that creation itself would be set free from slavery to corruption and share in the glorious freedom of the children of God. We know that all creation is groaning in labor pains even until now, and not only that, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, we also groan within ourselves as we wait for adoption, the redemption of our bodies. (Romans 8:18-23)

    He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there shall be no more death or mourning, wailing or pain, [for] the old order has passed away.
    (Revelation 21:4)

    You can’t be saved. You have no place here. You are doomed to fail. You have failed. Walk through oblivion. Alone.
    Behind and before you encircle me and rest your hand upon me.
    (Psalm 139:5)

    If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but handed him over for us all, how will he not also give us everything else along with him? Who will bring a charge against God’s chosen ones? It is God who acquits us. Who will condemn? It is Christ [Jesus] who died, rather, was raised, who also is at the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us. What will separate us from the love of Christ? Will anguish, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or the sword? For I am convinced that neither death nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor present things, nor future things, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:31-35, 38-39)

    Peace be with you. Kevin
