some ways speak too loud

so lets go under

   another mushroom cloud

always bitter and positively down
   but there lies the cure
    -let us eat hate let us eat hate-

for nothing tastes this good

nothing means your understood

i still believe theres no place for me
     except a soundproof room

where i can tear

     my eyes out for all eternity

and they still scream at me they still scream
              in me

squeezing every drop out    being dead must be
      
              the key

a hero is not what i wish to be
   though its a wonderful way to bleed

  oh why      cant i           move like

a brillant agony          for all the world to  see



"you can have my isolation..you can have the hate that it brings
you can have my absence of faith..you can have my everything"

"so impressed with all you do..tried so hard to be like you..flew too high and burnt the wing..lost my faith in everything"

"I am too connected to you to
Slip away, to fade away.
Days away I still feel you
Touching me, changing me,
And considerately killing me."

========================
you just did...
you do everytime you write and share one of your brilliant poems ...
and your poetry allows you to be heard..
even in that soundproof room ...
with this gift...you always have a voice
awesome poem Jac ...truly...

There are places inside our souls -
that have never been touched.
There are places inside our hearts -
that need to be loved this much.

i was elated to see that you were still here after all my time away, as i remember your work being very lovely to read, and this did not any any way disappoint me. i especially liked "they still scream at me they still scream in me"
