Clearance

I am crusted in thoughts
of how my crumbling
is not becoming of me.

How I am choking
on the taste, suffocating
from the existing silence
of a heart beat.

Muffled are my words,
muzzled are the lips
repressing the bottled up
emotions, disguised
from day to day.

Hidden now, are wants,
the desires that
have been tampered,
trifled with, strung along in jest.

I am but a prank,
amusing to some, an object
of ridicule, just
along for the ride.

Cheap to others, of small value,
poor quality, I am worthy
of no respect.  If discounted,
the last on the shelf to be dusted,
sold at half price.

By next week,
you can have me
for a song and a dance.
I am already conditioned,
to the fit of you.

Very well said Maureen. It hurts to feel like yesterday's clearance item. Reject that sales tag, dust yourself off a bit and put yourself back out there in neon to all prospective shoppers:
    "valuable, rare, one-of-a-kind"

Ah...if only you could see yourself as we see you. You are a priceless jewel that is most rare and unique in a world where everyone copies each other. I hope things get better for you, dear one. **big hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

Whoa Maureen!  This cannot be yourself you are talking about here!  
Not our Wynter~No way!  
You are one of a kind...with a special uniqueness.  
Take care, hugs, Nancy.

(big hugggsssssssss) Oh no, that's not true at all, that's not the loving and beautiful Maureen speaking! (sigh) Always follow your loving heart, and you will find yourself dancing happily soon enough with the love you will cherish forever! (sigh) We all love you, sweet friend! (kiss on cheek) You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Maureen, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

i seem to recall
words uttered unto my heart
some lost years ago
our great heavenly father
considers us each priceless

Kay...fly out here? That  would be a real treat *s thank you


Midnitesun oh I don't feel like it, I am it.. an antique, overlooked, in a dark corner, slightly worn from being fingered by prospective buyers who change their minds.  

Startime ..believe me, I see me as everyone sees me..yes I am unique, that I know for sure, sadly no one else will ever find that out. Better is not in my vocabulary, sameness resides where I live in my heart.

Enchantress thank you,Nancy, but it seems "special" has little meaning in my life. Yesterday I realized that.

Noah..no longer will I  follow my hear as that is where  all the lies begin...and now end.

wornways ..maybe he does, shame others on earth cannot see that.

Thank you all.
