Behind closed doors

I've been periodically crying in my office all day today. Just can't seem to get it together...too much stress and pain and heart ache. I couldn't sleep last night and just feel over run and hopeless. There's an empty feeling that I've been trying to ignore for a while and it seems to have encompassed me in the night. I suppose that's what getting older means; things and people leave, your dreams and hopes fade in to an unobtainable space, and fear and inadequacy seep in to the place where you once felt invincible and full of promise.
