saturated skin
heavy burden

it pulls
stretches

forcing heavy hands to lift,
higher, stronger

dragging a heavy heart through the dirt
the mud really
because everything in its path soaked,
drenched, filled with its annoying burden

that I wish I could just shake
like a dog

and laugh at days bygone

-maybe I'll just do that anyway-

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind.

OMG I love this!
You are reading my mind Copper:

Sideways Glance in the Mirror

The lines wrought in plaster
cracked and dry upon my
walls
have always been there.

Sometimes not so noticable
beneath twenty or so coats
of paint,
but today they seem to be screaming
into my auditory canal
causing my ears to bleed
with envy . . .

gawd, some days I wish I could just do this too.....
you've written a part of each of us...
we all have those days we WISH we could laugh away....
very well done!
