Caught Trapped Sucked in I spin Help! Let me out No way out Franticly run in frantic circles Bang the solid walls of self-doubt A door, a gate, stained crooked slates Locked, clenched in mid-scream, a perfect sigh No way out Let me out Help! I spin Been sucked in Don’t you see, can’t you see, why don’t you see, let me be A prisoner, caged, running a wheel of perfect insanity I’m not me, you see, I see me, from the inside looking out As I look through the crystal clear windows of mine I see, peering out through ivory orbs Me Caught Tapped Sucked in I’m not me, the me, I see, in the mirror of my mind Who is this stranger wearing my face that looks back to me. A hand reaches out to touch the illusion Confusion A silver dime/mond trapped in my head Crystallized, carbonized, rage I spin I been sucked in Help! Let me out No way out Hands on head, pulling my hair Mouth stretched wide Trying to escape out See me scream! |

"I’m not me, the me, I see, in the mirror of my mind Who is this stranger wearing my face that looks back to me. A hand reaches out to touch the illusion " Wow! Too many times my life has felt that way. God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown |

Yeah, sorta scary once you realized that the person you are looking at, is not you...the "you" perceived yourself to be. Yikes! [This message has been edited by Lady Noggins (edited 08-05-2000).] |

Yep this has ripples of whirlpools just beneath the surface. Sacry and dark Be well Kethry. "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- Cole |
