I WILL RISE AGAIN by: Jeg325

[JEG325]

I will rise again, I will not be chained to the night

I will rise again, I will stand for things that are right

I will be a voice that shouts from the wilderness

I will use words of love that you cannot resist

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I will rise again, no the rain will not hold me down

I will rise again, even when it looks like I might drown

I will swim upstream until I reach my quest

I will only showcase what I know is my best

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is no pain that can extinguish my light

No trials or problems that will stop my fight

When you need a friend I will always be there

To give you hope and show that someone cares

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The words of those who would stand in my way

With challenges I have to fight every day

May slow me down and even hold me back

But, I will never give in to them or their attack

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I will rise again, I will find my way to what is true

I will rise again, when someone needs my help like you

I will pick myself up and take you into my heart

I will show you ways to make the good things start

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I will rise again, on this one thing you can be sure of

I will rise again, my heart is filled with too much love

I will be the one who brings the light to the dark

I will be the one who gives the whole world a spark!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I will rise again….I WILL RISE AGAIN!

Awesome

[JEG325 in reply to NeuronerdDoaty]

Think it's a fitting swansong?

[NeuronerdDoaty in reply to JEG325]

Don’t leeeeaaaaavvvve meeeee.........

[JEG325 in reply to NeuronerdDoaty]

Hey! It's okay....I'm not making a final decision until maybe Tuesday.....

[NeuronerdDoaty in reply to JEG325]

Hi john ,dont know what all the drama has been about and no wish to carry it on ....hopefully things have calmed down and you can get some clarity of thought and some peace....focus on something positive and move on no one would like to see you leave here so just take time out maybe.....good poem sorry didn’t reply about the puzzles 🧩 thanks for the message ....make sue a cup of tea 😊

[JEG325 in reply to Sillysausage234]

SS, my clarity of thought says that when the forum starts hurting me, it no longer feels like home....

At 5am this morning I had a 30 minute meltdown. My poor sweetie was left to have to take care of me until I could regain control. I haven't had one of those for 3 months+ ! I have felt terrible physically since then....

After just over a year on here, my time may be finally be kaput....

[Sillysausage234 in reply to JEG325]

Maybe you’re getting too involved and investing too much time on here taxing yourself ???have a breather walk in nature maybe...good sleep...it’s a difficult site to navigate if your feeling vulnerable....wishing you some peace and tranquility

[JEG325 in reply to Sillysausage234]

Of course I get too involved, SS! That's who I am. I have gotten too involved since day 1! It's in my blood to help people as much as I can. It's a part of my DNA....

I have tried several time to change myself but, to no avail....The sun will rise the next day after I leave and life will go on here.....

But, it's time to rest on my laurels. Several hundred people helped, only a few loud dissenters....

Thanks for your input. I've always considered you a classy guy. Hope you get your music back.

Have a blessed day!

[Sillysausage234 in reply to JEG325]

Thanks hope we do too it’s a good tool to bring people together so much suffering on here I just like to see harmony as we all do it’s a great community with some special people who have been around and stay around to help support others unfortunately sometimes it goes off like the trolling last year but in the main it’s a safe place to be open and honest ....I’m sure you can see the b.s for what it is .

[JEG325 in reply to Sillysausage234]

Okay....I promise to think it over again after I finally get some sleep. Take it easy SS. Keep spreading cheer and light. You have a knack for it!

[Sillysausage234 in reply to JEG325]

It will all come clean in the wash .....forum love .. we all need it

[Hidden]

Oh no 😔 from reading a few posts I see that you’ve been hurt here 😔 I’m sorry

Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help

Just take some time out for now And get back to your safe point

I’m sure Sue has got you 😊

P.s .. great Poem

Missed your poems

[JEG325 in reply to Hidden]

Sue was hurt too. But, I had meltdown at 5am this morning. As I've said several times, when it becomes more than I can take emotionally & mentally (+even physically). It's time to walk away forever!

[Hidden in reply to JEG325]

I’m sorry 😞

Well look.. as I’ve always said you must put your health before anything. So if you need to be away then that’s what you can do.

But we’ll always be here .. if you ever need us ! Not going anywhere 😊

[JEG325 in reply to Hidden]

I always considered you a good friend, H....Hope everything's been good with you lately. Hope you're having a blessed day!

[Hidden in reply to JEG325]

And you too 😊

[Krn210]

What a wonderful poem. This is one of your best J!! You can never have enough love in your heart. You WILL rise again! 🤗❤️

[JEG325 in reply to Krn210]

OMG, thank you, K! That means so-o-o-o-o much coming from you!

[Krn210 in reply to JEG325]

I really like the strength in it. Remember you are strong!

[JEG325 in reply to Krn210]

You are part of my strength too, K. You and Sue help me get through life. For that I will always be grateful!

[gerrerd]

If we fight something it persists, Letting go of it is much easier my friend.

[JEG325 in reply to gerrerd]

To let go is to forget, to forget is to not care, to not care is to not live.

Therefore I will continue to care and to fight for what I believe in.

My goal was to help as many as I could. Unfortunately that is not everyone's goal.

I fight because if I don't, I don't feel....As long as I am fighting, I know I'm alive!

[gerrerd]

Very good post.

[JEG325 in reply to gerrerd]

Thank you. Unfortunately my best writing comes from when I am hurt the most (lol)

[JEG325 in reply to gerrerd]

I appreciate your comments, G!

Hello, I do not know what all the pain is about, I understand some one(s) have been using our lovely website for mean messages. That stinks, they will pay for their crime. I delete anything I think is wrong, I do not take it to heart as I know they are sick people. Keep doing as I do, give love, your heart will fill up every time, it is like a well that continually gives. First love yourself, believe in yourself you will get past any childish rudeness, know there are people here who love you. I have been gone for a few month, suffering a major depression & severe anxiety, now with a change in my med's and a wonderful therapist, I am rising again and it feels wonderful. Be good to yourself, perhaps you need to take a break to let your mind and body heal, when you come back you will be stronger than ever. I send you Peace, Joy, Love & Big Hugs....Sprinkle 1......

[JEG325 in reply to Sprinkle1]

Thank you for the advice and the kind thoughts. But sometimes you know when enough is enough.....

[Agora1]

Swansong?? I think not.

when I started reading your poem, I

smiled and thought "now that is the JEG

that I've known you to be".

Don't give up. It will only hurt yourself.

This isn't about winning or losing but fulfilling

your passion for life in helping others.

Never allow someone or something take you down.

You and Sue have each other's strength to get you

through. Never allow the enemy to bully you. Take

strength in the power within you. I know it's there.

People like to use our weaknesses to take us down

but when push comes to shove, we fight for what's right.

Even good people have their breaking point but don't

turn your back and leave. Think it over my friend. This is

your life, your decision, choose what's right for you.

[JEG325]

I will....But, even Sue would like to have more of my time....I spend so much time answering messages and talking to my friends that she is losing a part of me.

Plus, she has to deal with me every time I lose it, like I did at 5am this last morning. I am just tired to death of the drama, problems and stress caused by doing this.

But, A1, I always have liked you. Keep on trucking and living up to my shortening of your username. You are an awsome, sweet person!

[Kkimm]

Great poem John

[JEG325 in reply to Kkimm]

Thanks, K! Your praise means much!

[Hidden]

Very nice J... Here's hoping that today you are in a much better place of mind...

Now with that said...

May your day Sparkle!

Dump trucks of groovy love, peace, light, joy and hugs!

[JEG325 in reply to Hidden]

About, leaving? No....I'm pretty sure I'm leaving....

In general? A lot better, it's football Sunday after all!

Hi to you too, my super awesome friend!

[Hidden in reply to JEG325]

You're really going to leave....I'm kinda shocked by this...take some time to think on it...

Yes Sunday Funday Football...however being a Browns fan is a challenge, ha!Have a fantastic time watching the games today, great day for snacking!

I'm happy to hear you're feeling better...

Just you remember the tree...some like leaves fall away quickly, then the branches stay a little longer...like me..stick with the roots pal! Only way to go...

Here's another good one also...This too Shall pass....everything always does, huh? Maybe not as fast as we would like yet it does...great news for us!

May your day sparkle!

Dump trucks of groovy love, peace, light, joy and hugs!

[JEG325 in reply to Hidden]

Thanks for the pep talk. But, I'm about done here.

I already backed off once at the behest of my friends. I stopped about 90% of my activity.

But with better health, I eventually jumped back in with both feet...Problem is I got burned across the board....

All that stuff I tried, the writing clubs, talk groups, ect? They all failed. That means so did I.

But when it's physically harming me, that's where I draw the line. My lady is the one who has to deal with the fallout.

Well, I say enough already! I will simply concentrate on my writing more and doing more things that my sweetie wants to do. Maybe that's the way it should be.

I will leave my account open so my friends can pm me anytime they want. But, my voice across the forum will no longer be heard as of Tuesday morning at 6am....

It was a true pleasure to know you, L. Remember you can still pm me. Okay?

[Hidden in reply to JEG325]

Well you know what is best for you...do what you have to do... you have my number...miss talking with you...been a long time my friend!

Be kind to you!

May some sparkle come your way today..

Dump trucks of groovy love, peace, light, joy and hugs my special friend!

[JEG325 in reply to Hidden]

It did in the form of you, L....You're the number one sparkling thing on this site!

[Hidden in reply to JEG325]

Okay now you're being way to kind...I'm only number 1 in my hubby and girls eyes...that's okay too...I'll keep doing me and you keep doing you...we perfectly imperfect, ha!

More sparkle for your day...

Yepper doodles also more dump trucks filled with love, peace, light, joy and hugs special one!

[Hidden in reply to JEG325]

I’m glad to see you’re feeling better 😊 stay strong

[JEG325 in reply to Hidden]

Morning, my awesome friend!

Yes, I am feeling better. But, it has merely tightened my resolve to leave.

As I told L above, I am leaving my account open so people can pm me if they want. But as of Tuesday morning at 6am, I will no longer participate in any forum discussions anymore....

[Hidden in reply to JEG325]

That’s okay... you know you’ll be missed here but of course your health is more important! I’m glad you’re putting YOU first 😊

[JEG325 in reply to Hidden]

Hope, not only am I putting me first but, I'm also putting my lady and our relationship first. That's the real key here. I love my lady with all of my heart.....

[HopeWithSmile]

Wow. Just wow. I am speechless.....

so motivating and full of resilience!!!

[JEG325 in reply to HopeWithSmile]

I wrote it during a bad period when I felt like I was in the center of a big storm....I wrote it to let myself know, and to let others know that we can rise above anything if we just keep moving forward with our lives.

It is one of more than 150 poems I have written this year! I even have a small online writer's club, In case you're interested. But, by agreement with H/U I can only talk about it on your pm....

I was quite impressed with you too! Keep up the good work!

[HopeWithSmile in reply to JEG325]

It is really powerful. Every word is full of emotion. It really shows how much you cared about what you wrote! Pm me, please, about the club!

Xx

[JEG325 in reply to HopeWithSmile]

I sent you a long message! Hope you're having a blessed day!

[rosesandcherubs]

great thanks

[JEG325 in reply to rosesandcherubs]
