The clock on the wall Has the gall To strike at my all With its deafening tones. If I held the key To stop it, surely I would, but see- The answers don't seep into my bones. Plagued in this room Like a tomb, I've met my day of doom If I can't find my dreams. Deprivation of sleep Forces me to keep My mind racing to the deep Where there are no stitches and seams. All hail to the procession Of my confession At your discretion That venom feeds upon my brain. Say anything you care to, But I don't think its fair to Taunt and tease or dare to Let an honest woman slain. As I cope with this madness, You see the illness as Badness And I find no gladness In depending upon you. And so, I withdraw inside So you wont rape me of my pride. It hurts that my trust has died. But, I'm afraid it's true. Not even Hell knows of my fury, Though, you have no need to worry That my vision's become blurry Because I always will survive. As sleeplessness invades my head I toss and turn upon my bed, And wonder if I'll end up dead Of this disease keeping me alive. ©1999 Erin Solari ~onevoice~ "And Something's odd-within- That person that I was- And this One-do not feel the same- Could it be Madness-this?" Emily Dickinson |

An irreplacable thing when the trust is gone from the relationship, hope things get better for you real soon!! Open arms can be the most fragile in the world... |

Trust is a precarious thing Pixie. Both hard to earn and hard to hold, it is much harder to earn back once lost. I pray I never lose yours. Now and forever, my heart hears ~one voice~.

Honey I learned this lesson too, if they can't stand by you in illness they never, ever will. Be strong like in the poem, it'll get better. ((HUGS))  At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet. (Plato) ~Isis~ (Daughter of Mystery) |

The depth of emotion and heart expressed in this piece of art is palpable. Not only are they words on a page, they are breaths inhaled and exhaled...they are a camera on the wall, taking it all in....thank you, for allowing us in....and know my thoughts and prayers are with you. I am a Life Purpose Coach who specializes in assisting men and women to clarify their Life Purpose and then in turn live true to their purpose. After 5 years working with the Severely Mentally Ill in County Mental Health, I gave up the bureaucracy (and safe, secure blanket) of this environment to pursue my own purpose and passion. |

I just dont know what to say ~*~ Hell is not a place of fire and a devil with a tail and horns. But a place of torment because the light of God is gone. To escape this, accept the blood of Jesus Christ! ~*~ |

Very powerful and well said, one voice. We miss you around here... *Krista Knutson* ~*Like a lion, without fear of the howling pack, Like a gust of wind, ne'er trapped in a snare, Like a lotus blossom, ne'er sprinkled by water, Let me, like a unicorn, in solitude roam.*~ Hymn Of Buddha |
