This I write after reading a quote from a poet here who is to be admired not only for her talent with words but also for the quality of her person. I believe her words are inspired and were meant for me to read today. “I would rather be silent and write, than to speak loudly and be bound.” Karilea and so I write with eyes open no truth hidden or placated by rationalize I find that it is not a nice place inside of me lack of self control opens a door to the ugliness hidden inside and screaming injustice for all its worth proves out to be cheap and ill worthy of justice’s very definition the louder the screaming in my ears the more bound I become for now I have my own wrongs on top of all else and you will readily agree that anger or numbness are not pleasant choices with eyes open I find I do not like me much there is none of that person that with closed eyes I thought to be proud of with eyes open I am ugly the self pity that feeds my tears quite easily becomes me where is the person I thought I had grown to be who is this raging maniac who would claw your eyes out if not bound by her own dementia of injustice who through her bonds can barely now type out the words that might bring freedom words that hold the key to healing words that soak the tears and give reason to write [This message has been edited by beaniebaby (11-21-2005 06:29 PM).] |
