Distant Shimmer

In the most sincerest
way
I am a distant
shimmer,
hiding like a pensive
child.
Insecurities own
my soul
I know not how to
escape
the perils as they
rule me.
I want to run away
faster
then they ever could
follow,
yet where would I
end up?
They'd catch me
for sure,
one can't run from
themselves,
it's a dark journey
to nowhere.
So until I find the security
key
I only exhibit half
the shimmer
of what my soul knows
I should.

WOW LD...

I only exhibit half
the shimmer
of what my soul knows
I should.

Shine as bright as you can when ever you can.

Live your life filled with joy and wonder."
R.E.M sweetness follows.
anyway ranting here,

an excellent poem. much enjoyed.

LD - What a terrific poem.  Your light shines so brightly in your work, I can't begin to image what the "whole" shimmer would be.  Bonnie

Lost Dreamer,

A most sincere poem
A topic close to my heart
An earnest yearn to escape myself
A smile from me from putting
these feelings in words

I think your 'shimmer' is just fine! I guess we never truly see ourselves as others do. Great poem, Gloria!
