As the incessant spiteful squabbling of my parents callously vibrates around the walls, never allowing a weary disheartened soul any repose As they hurl things at each other and jeer vicious insults, my strong supportive pillars suddenly collapse, crushing a broken heart with ten thousand tons of burden I instinctively grab a book, desperate for words of warmth and hope, ingredients that my own parents can't furnish I feel like my fairy godmother has morphed me I am a soaring bird,travelling in awe through fascinating lands of words that poets have weaved ingeniously with their all-mightly pens Their worlds promise of luxurious orange-red sunshine rippling on soft gentle waves, of melodious breezes flirting teasingly with youthful green leaves, of dancing clouds sharing the night stage with sparkling diamond stars All of these they weave and more I am in a glorious state of equanimity My heart is a still placid lake, where nothing can ruffle its peacefulness My troubled soul transforms miraculously to calm, composed Zen, almost as if i were a monk, enlightenment achieved All my frustrations cast aside, I no longer care whether my parents are fighting I no longer allow them to manipulate my emotions My mind now sings of serenity, I go "hush, hush" at their domineering quarrels and smile at the words before me Oh, how cool and delightful Poetry is! |

I unfortunatly can relate to your feelings...It is so good to have an escape that gives you peace...and to have a positive outlet during such a tough situation is great! You can never have too much fiction; reality can be such a bore |

Kaile, Wow, I love what you wrote here, and how you found poetry as your salvation. There is a wonderful voice within poetry, and it is very tranquil most of the time. Thanks for taking the challenge and soaring to such great heights with it. |

Kaile, I understand exactly how you felt. I went through the same thing just when I was taking GCE 'O's *sigh* That was a dreadul period, and I hid in my room and cried... But that's over now, no problem, and I've too, learned to handle it by doing something that calms my nerves. _,,,^.^,,,_ |
