Please forgive me, Broken_Winged_Angel, but I have agonized over your piece "January,7,2000" since it was posted. I haven't been able to get it out of my mind. What pain you must feel, yes. But, what of his pain? Unimaginable, devistating, final..I tried to put myself in his place. Tried to feel what he may have felt. I hope I have done justice to his ordeal. ____________________________________________________ Devoid of choice stripped to the bone dignity a forgotton memory from a past life dull days become anxious nights labored breathing till the dawn the new day a sibling of yesterday congenitally deformed a searing reminder defiantly naked oppressive, relentless icy fingers clutch wounded spirit nowhere to run nowhere to hide exposed to a redundant nightmare resigned to conform to despicable routine a dyslexic melody of disharmonic chords endless a pentagram of destruction faithless in a faithless world must escape to a better place anywhere but here the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost |

Pegasus, I have never been suicidal, but have been depressed, and have even had passive death wishes. I think you have captured the feeling very well. Excellent, empathetic writing! To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

Oh, you have caught the feeling of dispair and hopefulness very well. Almost to painful to read, as it sucks one down into lost emotions of thinking that there is no way out. -lady |

It's hard to imagine what an individual is feeling in that situation. You have described the obvious torment that one must have, trapped inside an existence, unable to find peace in life. This is a difficult subject to write about, but you did just that, and very well! |
