Destination Hope – Author Amanda J. Evans

By Raja's Insight on March 18, 2018 • ( 1 )

The road leads nowhere

Dusty and desolate,

filled with chipped concrete and rocks,

abandoned like my thoughts

My road

Misshapen, isolated,

A padded room, no escape.

I look into the distance

black and eerie,

like Sulphur covered remnants

my house burned to the ground

Silence, no happy chirping

to sing me on my way

No colour in the scorched fields

My path lifeless and barren

I struggle forward

one step at a time

fragmented memories torment

this fragile mind

Yearning for the yellow brick pathway

golden sunlight, sounds of life

A powerful wizard to send me home

But this is my road

my tormented path

isolation of a mind

struggling to break free

Preface . . .

We live in a society whereby there is an astounding increase in what is known as ‘the invisible disorders.’ We may be living with one or more of them ourselves, or perhaps it could be our parent, our child, our grandchild or the person working at the desk beside us. These hidden, or not so hidden disorders are a part of our modern-day life, symptoms of hereditary, dietary, metabolic or chemical unbalances in the body – yet they exist and are very real for the person who lives daily with any of them.

There are many people silently suffering as a result. They are walking through life feeling lost, unsupported, misunderstood and alone; yet there is hope in acceptance and inclusion. There is hope when we give these disorders a voice, a name, a face and a place in society. The collection within these pages are voices, names and faces; the accounts of real people by real people. They either live with a disorder or have been deeply touched by knowing someone who does.

It is with my profound thanks to all the contributors, for opening themselves up, with the willingness to share these experiences with the world. “You Have a Name.”

Brenda-Lee Ranta, author of Allegories, and Myriad of Perceptions
