Calling out for you, for someone, for something Reaching in the dark The contrast against fears Smothering further cries and I learned like a child not to ask for what is never given Dreaming in silent screams swallowed, least useless sounds hurt Walking, bent, unnoticed Blending into pavement Reaching for nothing, no one, anyone "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

perhaps I'm not reading this one deeply enough, for I am struck more by its quality than I am by its message...this is so good |

I had a sense of deja vu while reading your pleaful cries. No, it was deja vu ~ and your words were painfully accurate! Very well-written!  Linda |

Hoping you find reason to stand up straight and create your own blending. You got noticed on this one. Crafted and portrayed in great form as well as content. |

Susan, This is filet-to-the bone hurt and it is good poetry laced with sad emotions. Almost sounds like a drink, doesn't it. Come on by and I'll mix you up a 'good poetry with sad emotion on the rocks' and we'll toast the pain away. Alison |
