Lost My Glue even in my darkest hour I know you are there waiting in your silence with shadows that you wear I'm not one to ask for help even when I'm weak maybe it's time for me to learn a new technique I hated weakness in others and saw it as a flaw but now... I find I too am human and have lost strength to draw things I knew about myself are no longer true I have been the strong one and now I've lost my glue you always stand as my shadow today could yours I stand I now know, I can't do this alone and I need your hand "...the rest is silence" (Hamlet) Shakespeare |

you could be my twin sister with these thoughts, they are so in line with what I'm going through, I've lost ALL of my glue....but I'm still holding it together somehow! |

Isn't it nice to know that even when you can't find your glue someone will help put you back together. Enjoyed!! |

Holding it all together is never easy, Helen. Just have to try to do your best, it's all you can do. All writing comes |

In my opinion I see no weakness but strenght when people ask for help, because it takes a lot of courage to do so. Great poem and take that hand! Titia A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess... |

Helen ~ I really love this poem, it seems that's I lose my glue all the time, so reading this was like a mirror of introspective. You used an perfect theme to convey the many emotions/situations here! - it's a keeper~ Take care, Melissa~ |

A hand once extended in friendship is never recalled. You only need to extend yours again and the other is waiting. |

Very well written, Helen. I like the develpment of the theme, and the way you brought to light what you meant by "glue." Everybody else probably understood it from the start - thanks for guiding me along the thread. I really enjoyed this poem. |
