. Oh, really, it’s so unfair If only I could justify myself What have I done? And what have you seen? Why did you suspect me of every sin? I never gave you the air You saw me leaving, it’s true I thrust my way for so long and lost I’ve changed my place, returned to my past And finished the game, for it can not last I didn’t escape from you I used to walk through your life Without a trace, an invisible being You tell them about my daily routine You cry when I fall, applaud if I win… Unreal to come to light Forborne with the time it took I followed your steps in withering sands I crossed your way in alien lands The closer I come the further you stand The more disappointed you look But now I step aside Too much for my hope, and I look away I forced every door, any trick I tried Wherever I look – never catch your eye I’m sorry, if you are blind I heard that you call me proud Sometimes I merely wish I could fly But someone has bound me to shoulder the sky He’s kicking my knees and wondering why Its dome is crashing so loud . 22/07/2013 .

I grasp all the ache and heartbreak within the structure of this poem, Gale, this line especially is a tell-all line . . . quote: This is one of your very best work, and it is sad, but it has a look ahead appeal that can be refreshing. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Thank you, Jerry, very much! Sorry, I've been writting it all day long and don't know why I'm so tired, that can't choose the words. Go to sleep... |

in the sadness and disappointment, you do wear a badge of courage throughout, if but only through poetry, a good thing |
