Dark heart

I have a darkness in my heart.
In my quiet moments, a shadow.
Where am I ?
I am fading, my strength, like ice cream in summer leaks away.
Comfort and hope are repelled from me.
I procrastinate, I shrink from duty, failure follows me.
Gloom in my heart and despair in my mind.
Oh God please help me.

Julius, keep on writing. This is the one thing I know. Letting out the despair and sharing the pain connects you to people, and people are your life. When the darkness descends, we feel the need to creep away and hide, but we have something to give, and that is truth. The able-bodied have the luxury of being able to blot out harsh reality much of the time, but your very presence is a reminder that we are all frail.Keep telling the truth. Keep searching for meaning. Keep pushing the boundaries of your belief to permit the possibility that what you write and share touches people. Sometimes the ramblings are too raw to respond to, and that is okay, but keep believing that they strike a chord, because they do.
