It's time to let go succumbing to my weakening falling through an abyss, building walls to carve my history, privately. Please don't look down deeply it is murky under the surface filled with silt, and cruddy quicksand that threatens my well being. I fear the slipping away compiled with anxiety and the unnatural decent swallowing gravity. I've enclosed the pain wedged precariously into a space where my heart begs but cannot feel any longer. I'm lacking the strength to go up against you, I won't afford to fight the battle that might leave me crippled after the white flag's been raised. Twice removed for the sake of survival I have searched long and hard for a clearing in the mirror and still, the smoke burns my eyes. Bracing myself for the letting down my hands, red and worn my heart running off into the darkness to bleed. ~*~ [This message has been edited by BluesSerenade (06-14-2003 03:14 AM).] |

Thank you Kaoru, and devinechild. I'm having another one of my spells, and it feels just awful. I almost think I should be apologizing for even writing this. I thank you both for lifting my spirits. |

Okay, now I understand. I couldn't imagine anything making you feel like this. Get well soon, even though you write it well. |

"I've enclosed the pain wedged precariously where my heart begs but cannot bare to feel any longer." I have been in this space. Somewhere down low, near one of the support beams, you might see my name scratched into the dingy plaster. There is a doorway out. It hides in plain sight. Write it out, friend. You are doing well with pieces like this. |

 (big hugggsssssssss) Well, at leats think of it this way. The key word here is "twice". You were removed "once" before and you made it back and pulled through! So with your courageous heart and strength, you will come back yet again and nothing can ever push you back that easily again, as you are the sun! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, I send angel hugs your way, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Lori, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |

I hope that this "spell" is a short lived one. Surely a peice of poetry from the deepest part of your inner being. Great Work! Tima C. If you cant get rid of the skeletons in your closet, you'd best teach them how to dance. George Bernard Shaw |
