Music & lyrics: john popper
If ever you are feeling like you're tired
And all your uphill struggles leave you headed downhill
If you realize your wildest dreams can hurt you
And your appetite for pain has drinken it's fill
I ask of you a very simple question
Did you think for one minute that you are alone
And is your suffering a privilege you share only
Or did you think that everybody else feels completely at home
Just wait
Just wait
Just wait
And it will come
If you think I've given up on you you're crazy
And if you think I don't love you well then you're just wrong
In time you just might take to feeling better
Time is the beauty of the road being long
I know that now you feel no consolation
But maybe if I told you and informed you out loud
I say this without fear of hesitation
I can honestly tell you that you make me proud
Just wait
Just wait
Just wait
And it will come
Just wait
Just wait
Just wait
And it will come
If anything I might have just said has helped you
If anything I might have just said helped you just carry on
Your rise uphill may no longer seem a struggle
And your appetite for pain may all but be gone
I hope for you and cannot stop at hoping
Until that smile has once again returned to your face
There's no such thing as a failure who keeps trying
Coasting to the bottom is the only disgrace
Just wait
Just wait
Just wait
And it will come
Just wait
Just wait
Just wait
And it will come
Just wait
Just wait
Just wait
And it will come

أمي
فَكَّرتُ يَوماً بالرحيل , فحطّ حَسُّونٌ على يدها ونام .
وكان يكفي أَن أُداعِبَ غُصْنَ داليَةٍ على عَجَلٍ ... لتُدْركَ أَنَّ كأس حياتي امتلأتْ .
ويكفي أَن أنامَ مُبَكَّراً لَتَرى مناميَ واضحاً , فتطيلُ لَيْلَتَها لتحرسَهُ ..
ويكفي أَن تجيء رسالةً منّي لتعرِف أَنْ عنواني تغّير , فوق قارِعَةِ السجون ,
وأَنْ أَيَّامي تُحوِّمُ حَوْلَها ... وحيالها
**
تَعُدُّ أَصابعي العشرينَ عن بُعْد .
تُمَشِّطُني بخُصْلَّة شعرها الذَهَبيّ
تبحثُ في ثيابي عن نساءٍ أَجنبيَّاتٍ وَتَرْفُو جَوْريي المقطوعَ .
أَكَبْر على يَدِها كما شئنا :
أَنا وَهي , افترقنا عند مُنحَدرِ الرَّخام ... ولوَّحت سُحُبً لنا , يَرِثُ المَكَانَ .
وأَنْشَأَ المنفى لنا لغتين :
دارجةُ ... ليفهمَهَا
الحمامُ ويحفظَ الذكرى , وفُصْحى ...
!
)
***
ما زلت حياً في خضمك
لم قالت الأم
للوَلَدِ المريضِ مَرِضْتُ من قَمَرِ النحاس على خيامِ البْدوِ
تتذكرين طريق هجرتنا إلى لندنَ , حَيْثُ نسيتني ونسيتِ كيسَ الخُبْزِ
كانَ الخبزُ قمحيَّاً ] ولم أَصرخْ لئلاّ أُوقظَ الحُرَّاسَ حَطَّتْني علىكَتِفْيكِ رائحةُ الندى .
ظَبْيَةُ فَقَدَتْ هُناكَ كنَاسَها وغزالها ...
عَجَنْت بالحَبَقِ الظهيرةَ كُلَّها .
وَخَبَزْتِ للسُّمَّاقِ عُرْفَ الديك .
أَعرِفُ ما يُخَرَّبُ قلبَك المَثّقُوبَ بالطاووس , مُنْذُ طُرِدْتِ ثانيةً من الفردوس .
قولي أَيَّ شيء لي لتَمنَحني الحياةُ دَلالَها .
****
هي
أُختُ هاجَرَ أُختُها من أُمِّها .
تبكي مع النايات مَوْتى لم يموتوا .
مقابر حول خيمتها لتعرف كيف تَنْفَتِحَ السماءُ ولا ترى الصحراءَ حديقَتَها على وَجْه السراب , فيركُض الزَّمَنُ القديمُ بها إلى عَبَثٍ ضروريِّ :
أَبوها طار مثل الشَرْكَسيِّ على حصان العُرسْ
)
أَمَّا أُمها فلقد أَعَدَّتْ , دون أن تبكي لِزَوْجَة
زَوْجِها حناءَها , وتفحَّصَتْ خلخالها ...
*****
عند مُفْتَرَقِ الحديث .
تقول لي مثلاً :
تزوجَّ أَيَّةَ امرأة مِنَ الغُرباء , أَجملُ من بنات الحيِّ , لكنْ لا تُصَدِّقْ أَيَّةَ امرأة سواي .
ولا تُصَدِّقْ ذكرياتِكَ دائماً .
تَحْتَرِقْ لتضيء أُمَّكَ , تلك مِهْنَتُها الجميلةُ.
تحنُّ إلى مواعيد الندى .
كُنْ واقعيَّاً كالسماء .
ولا تحنّ إلى عباءة جدِّكَ السوداء , أَو رَشَوَاتِ جدّتك الكثيرةِ كالمُهْرِ في الدنيا .
وكُنْ مَنْ أَنت حيثَ تكون .
واحَملْ عبء قلبِكَ وَحْدَك ...وارجع إذا اتسَعَتْ بلادُكَ للبلاد وغيَّرتْ أَحوالهَا ...

If you have a Bible, have a look at Revelation the last book of the Bible chapter21 verse4 it is a comforting verse because it speaks of how God will soon wipe away every tear from our eyes and take away all the sorrow and misery, from this planet I find that very encouraging so maybe if you read it, it might help you get a bit of comfort too. Peace be with you! And God's help be with you as well!

Well, Happymrzot sure had me laughing with his goofy Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy humor and colorful avatar hair!
As for being depressed and disappointed-it's part of the human condition. Don't run from feeling bad-that often causes more pain. Just allow it to do what it does. Shifts will arise. Peace.
And thanks for your courage to be honest and vulnerable, even in hiding.
By the way, Mrzot-I've been looking for a Clark Kent dentist all my life-I hate x-rays!

I'm sorry your feeling depressed, I've been there and its helps to talk to someone about why your feeling like this, and if you can't trust anyone then write. It always helped me get threw the hardships in my life when I thought that I couldn't trust anyone. Just remember what doesn't kill you makes you stronger and not to give up every thing will eventually work out the way its suppose to. Good luck and I hope everything works out for you.

I could give you all the one liners in the book, it probably wouldn't do that much good. However instead I will try to chear you up a better way.
You are most likely depressed because you are thinking of negative things. Don't do this; instead think of all the positive things going on. If you can't think of anything good going on in your life then remember good times. Although you should be able to find a lot of good things going on in your life right now.

Hey !
You sound a very sensitive sweet person - believe me I am a very sensitive person too - we do get hurt and depressed most times because we are sensitive. Well the best is to try and be a bit hard - it is difficult.
But try to do some thing - meet up with some friends - may be lunch, dinner etc. Party !
Cheers - if you need to talk to some one - just message me !
Hugs !

Psalm 4
Answer me when I call to you,
O my righteous God.
Give me relief from my distress;
be merciful to me and hear my prayer.
How long, O men, will you turn my glory into shame [a] ?
How long will you love delusions and seek false gods [b] ?
Selah
Know that the LORD has set apart the godly for himself;
the LORD will hear when I call to him.
In your anger do not sin;
when you are on your beds,
search your hearts and be silent.
Selah
Offer right sacrifices
and trust in the LORD.
Many are asking, "Who can show us any good?"
Let the light of your face shine upon us, O LORD.
You have filled my heart with greater joy
than when their grain and new wine abound.
I will lie down and sleep in peace,
for you alone, O LORD,
make me dwell in safety.

Philippians 4:6-8
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.
Cordially,
John
