Is there a hurt within me
That I can't seem to heal?
Am I deepening the void
With my own comforts,
Are my serene, calm words
Pushing the hurt further down?
Do I not see I need someone
To help get the hurt out of me?
To reach far beneath
My skin, to my soul
And grab the hurt by its nasty throat
Strangling it to death.
I guess I don't see that though
Because the hurt is still there
I can hear its steady breathing
Rythmic with my own
My words mean nothing to it,
To me.
I can say no more!

very well written Joy,
a well expressed look within...
your words mean and say alot,
take care, janet marie< !signature-->

 "...we were born before the wind...also younger than the sun...
and my heart you have won...as we sailed into the mystic...
I just want to rock your gypsy soul-
just like in the days of old...
and together we will float-into the mystic...
Van Morrison

you have written the story of me! i have been battling those exact feelings for a long time now. you get so good at portraying the facade that you even begin to fool yourself. wonderfully written and so completely felt. great work!

Thank you for your replies.  I honestly didn't think that many people would relate this much.  It seems a lot of people go through very dark times in their lives.  I am glad I could have touched you all.  So, thank you!
