~Learning The Art of Denial~ When your mind keeps searching for the reasons... and your heart just wont let it be, Do what I do when all gets to be too much-- I'm an expert on denial, take it from me. When life gives you more than you can handle... when things happen that your mind cant conceive-- teach yourself to pretend it don't matter, Denial gives your heart a much needed reprieve. Some mistakes are just too hard to get over... would you even know if you'd been deceived, Its just like a small child's imagination, Denial allows your soul to once again breathe... Janet Marie I love you Is all that you can't say- Years gone by and still... Words don't come easily Like I love you, I love you... But you can say baby... Baby can I hold you tonight Maybe if I told you the right words At the right time you'd be mine... Tracy Chapman |

Yep, I've been there. I think it is a safety valve 'till you are able to deal with it. Great poem, Janet Marie! Denise |

Oh yes, I know this 'denial' bit all too well Janet, believe me. It was almost like you were writing it from watching me 4 years ago. Thank you for sharing this piece...I am very thrilled that someone saw it the same way I did so many years ago (even though it didn't work entirely for me).  < !signature-->"...I am alone Lost in my memories There's nowhere left for me to hide But I am not real I've made all I am with lies Why can't you see my need for forgiveness? The truth and the lies so confused as one I don't believe in anything sacred So why do I feel so damn alone? I need someone to break the silence Screaming in my head, and in my soul..." by Stabbing Westward [This message has been edited by Wikket (edited 02-21-2000).] |

I definitely agree denial can be a safety net for all those times that you just don`t feel ready to play the cards you`ve been dealt. Great poem. "The world is never the same once a good poem has been added to it." -Dylan Thomas |

Very good and - truthful Janet Marie. Although some of us are experts at denial  - I believe we've all had a chance to try our hand at it!! |
