The  Shadows  Are  Back

Its one of those days when nothing is wrong but nothing is right
Its just a feeling that hurts from the inside out
Nothing I can describe and I'm fighting with all my might
You know..you can't see it or hear it but darn its all about

I don't think these silent screams in my head will last forever
But while they live inside me I have no place go to hide

Why do I get these feelings of doom when the sun is shining not stormy weather
I'm brused and battered without a mark..up..down..together..divide

Smile through tears..rhyme without reason..calm before the storm
But why..I want to yell at the moon..rant and rave
Close my eyes and ears to the outside..thoughts wait for the new refreshed morn
This too will pass,,smiles will be real..calmness prevail..time a renovating wave

I've been asking myself this all summer.  As you say...eventually it will pass.

This is just a wonderfully written piece from you~

Maybe ya' ought to consider tucking those shadows in real tight~

No stuff ... this is GREAT STUFF ! !

Great poem...tells it like it is!   Have to face those things but like you say they go away!  I always appreciate it when a poet gets these topics out on the written page!!

Duncan, they pass but are still lurking in the shadows?  Thanks for stopping by

Marge, I'm going to paint all the corners white so they can't hide!  After reading your Poem about White Buffalo Woman, I had to feel better.  Hugs

ethome, thanks and with PIP friends the shadows have to go!

Bytterflies my kid, lets hope we both can see the sunshine.  It can be so elusive though.  Love and hugs

M.E. this is a cleverly penned poem...
you've taken some classic cliches and thrown in some turn of phrase and word play
and wrapped it up in rhyme.
And when its all said and done you captured the dark and the light in our shades of gray.
Well done poetess...we all gotta sing the blues now and then.

Janet Marie, maybe some can sing the blue's, but singing is NOT something you would like to hear from me....fingernails on the chalk board.  Thanks for the visit
