I am dying inside,
lack of control over
things I should have in my pocket...
like everyone else
who thinks of life this way.
Anyone can see it.
I don't hide it...
how could I
even if I tried? I'm bare

knocking on the highway
but no one answers.

The ocean calls.
I am busy being neglected and rejected
and have no time for her.

I don't much feel like rhyming now.
It's gone from my blood.
Days spent passing shadows,
ghosts...flawless, tranquil,
never mine to hold.

To embrace anything at this moment
would give life
where I am dying inside,
where eveyone can see.

you may not feel like rhyming but woman, you are always poetic

"Days spent passing shadows,
ghosts...flawless, tranquil,
never mine to hold."

You express yourself so beautifully - even when you are dying inside.  My thoughts are with you -- my poet friend.

love this
especially the irony of...

"where I am dying inside,
where eveyone can see."

some of us likely 'relate' to this write
far, far more than others.......

I particularly like:

"knocking on the highway
but no one answers.

The ocean calls.
I am busy being neglected and rejected
and have no time for her."

I truly know the feeling!.....

Heart piercing words.
