(This is a true story
about a very difficult time in my life)

" FancyLadyRider Sig's "

I remember a very
sad time in my life
when my whole world
was shattered and torn in two

It was eight  years ago
when I was shaken
to the  very core
and I had fallen
and I didn't want to live anymore

I was torn between two worlds
amongst the living and the dead

Because my whole world
was torn inside out
and everything I
believed in was gone

I didn't know what to do
more or less where to go
because my mind was empty
and my heart was torn in two

My mother had died
and not to much
longer after that
my ex wife left me

And that's when I had
to do some deep
inner soul searching

And for many years
through all the tears
and through all the sadness
I had to try and remain  sane

When I couldn't
take it anymore
I got down on my knees
and I began to pray

So that I could move on
and start a new life
in a new town
and in a different city

That's when
I walked away
from my own insanity

It wasn't easy
and I have to admit
it was the hardest
challenge that I
had ever had to face

Every day became
harder then the last
just so that I could live

The first year was the hardest
because I didn't care
if I lived or if I died
I lost eighty pounds from not eating
because I had stopped believing
in myself and in living and in praying

Because I was hurt and angry
and I was mourning the loss of my Mom

And finally one day
I couldn't handle it anymore
And I got down on my knees
and I started praying

Because I couldn't take it anymore

And finally  one day
through the storms
and through the tribulations
I received the  answers
to my prayers

And the good Lord
set me free
from my insanity

Because I finally handed
all of my burdens over to him
so that I could
concentrate on living again

I have to admit
it has been a long
and difficult journey

And I thank God
that I am alive today
because I got down
on my knees and prayed

And ever since that day
it hasn't been easy
but some how
I have survived

Because I had handed
all of my burdens over to him
and I have started living again
one day at a time.

There are still times
when I have my moments
and I will stumble
and I will fall

But I just get back up again
and I get down on my knees
and I start praying

Because I want to be amongst the  living
and I don't want to think about dying ever again

I thank God that I am alive today
to live another day
just so that I can tell my story

If you ever go through
a difficult time in your life
and your whole world is torn
inside out and upside down

Remember no matter what it may be

If you are feeling empty inside
and you don't know what to do
and you are feeling half alive
because you don't know where to go

Take a little time out  to
get down on your knees
and start praying to the Lord

When you do
It will set you free
only when you are ready
