Let your knees
Ease gently to the floor.
Let your arms
Lean against the white wooden door.

Whisper through the key hole.
Breathe out your burdens.
I’m listening.

Let your fingers
Slip under the door.
Let the damage
Spill on the poor pasty floor.

Whisper through the key hole.
Breathe out your burdens.

I'm here,
Kneeling on the other side.

The tips of my fingers
Start to bleed the thoughts
That overwhelm me

Ha!  Christine, you definitely "get" it.  

This is simply beautiful, and such originality.  Maybe it could work without the parentheses?

Sorry I can't say much more right now, schedule a bit tough at the moment.  More time this weekend I hope.

Yeah, I guess it does work without the parentheses, I'll change it then.

I love this poem it really reminds me of a few years back but i don't want to get into that but i really understand what you mean

If you don't like something,
Change it...
If you can't change it,
Change the way you think about it

Thank you!

The hardest part about writing poetry,
is trying not to write like everyone else.

I don't mind how many people bring this to the top - it's still one of the best poems I've ever seen at PiP.

You should have a go at this when you have time:
