static clings
no matter how many
fabric softner sheets
I use obsessively
turn down the volume
one last time
as I lie the disappointments down
shutting out
the lullaby's
I don't believe
in whatever it was
I believed
when I first met you
I don't care
if I just shut it out
I realize finally
what life is all about
and I can't breathe
So what if
I stand before you
in Drama Queen fashion
I'm just not who
you think I am
I'm not the saviour
of your heart
nor your addiction
suffocate the lies
drown
Prince Charming
is a joke
he doesn't exist
because you don't exist...

If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried.

Well said...very well done!
Hugs~Nancy

I wait now at the lake or walking by the bay
I wait and listen or put a seashell
to my ear and it all comes back
the wind's soft murmur..and you.

Kristen, I know that you have been experiencing many trials by fire, but you will get through them. A lesser woman would be totally overwhelmed.

I can sense your strength in this impassioned piece of writing.

"I stand before you
in Drama Queen fashion"

~ Been there! Done that! lol

"I'm not the saviour
of your heart
nor your addiction
suffocate the lies
drown
Prince Charming
is a joke
he doesn't exist
because you don't exist..."

~ Whew! That vent must have made you feel better! It's good to let it out or you might explode into a thousand smithereens!

Hugs with love,
Linda
