I try to open these sealed, shut eyes
I try to stop the stress and vanquish these cries
but WHY should I try to see?
when I don't like the reflection of ME.

I try to cut these puppet strings
I try to feel the cry as the angel sings
but WHY set myself free?
when none will ever trust ME.

I try to speak words against you
I try to make all listen too
but WHY speak so loudly?
when none is able to hear ME.

I try to run away from this pain
I try to stop these tears of rain
but WHY try to continue to flee?
when none will be able to comfort ME.

I try to open, cut, speak, and run from thee
but WHY, because I'm hurting none but ME.

This is very disturbing to me.  I don't really know why but just something about the cut, open, run thing.  I hope everything is okay for you, yesterday you seemed fine when you came over.

In my prayers

So sad and dark ----Makes me want
to hug you and tell you that life
runs in cycles, and some are very painful
and from those we hopefully learn.
And some are very joyful and those
are for what we live for.

Take care

This is so pain filled...you wrote it wonderfully through the pain and I hope you find comfort in the release, I offer you *Angel Wing Hugs* for they ask nothing in return.

 Hold me for yesterday
Kiss me for tomorrow
But love me for today.

Heartfelt words in your writing speak loudly....I am not sure if you really are as trapped as you might feel sometimes.  Emotion cloud the thoughts of the mind...which so often is the best feeling there is...but at times can hinder our true needs.  As I don't know your dealings in your life and can only look into you here... I see one of compassion by holding your words and not speaking out against the one who has hurt you....and I can see love deep in your heart as one to forgive.  And know that there is one of comfort that knocks....Open the door and let the troubles lay at rest.  Grace and peace be with you Blondie  

 A man does not love a woman because she is beautiful...But she is beautiful because he loves her.

I have to say if you would put the reply you just sent me in poetry form it would be something beautiful.  
I don't hate towards anyone, and I only get mad at myself when it comes down to it...
I can't have anger built in me, and I admit, I hide behind masks of laughter sometime but that's the only way I know how to deal with things....by hiding.

I can relate, Blondie .... I was very good at 'hiding', infact I think I had it down to a science .... then one day ..... I just had enough and left the bad situation ... I thank God , for my life took a wonderful change ... biggest was the respect, I finally felt for myself .....
I wish sunshine for you, too ....
Excellently stated .....
