Round yourself up
to the nearest hundred

How many times
have you been here
done this

Coward
self afflicted silence
keeper of ums and ahs

Speak so you can be heard
I want to walk
amongst every crawling excuse

Lover of peace?
why not grant me
peace of mind

Beyond the rules of repetition
cascading so gracefully
into pools of infinity

Another lie
another try
another year with you

How many surfaces
hearts and bones
have you used
to prop yourself?

round it up
to the nearest hundred

gemjop - it must be close to a hundred to round up, that's many in my opinion. Nice write...

(big hugggssssssss) If it can be rounded up to the nearest hundredth, I believe the whole mystery will be solved and wrapped up in a neat little package, if there is a remainder left, then I'd suggest retreating! (sad sigh) You speak of this anguish so eloquently, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Gemma, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
