Now I write things run through my head words that should and shouldn't be said as I sleep where dreams can't go words and words and words still flow damn this lost separation of night and day grabs my emotions, I start to fray yielding now, to win or lose this fight I pick up the pen and again I write pour out my soul on white blank pages come to terms with myself, small stages within bitter darkness I become a sleuth I now face myself, staring out at truth |

What you say in the end of this is the hardest thing to do. To face the truth about one's self. Effective writing, Lady! I love it! "This above all-ask yourself in the stillest hour of your night:MUST I write? Delve into yourself for a deep answer. Rainer Maria Rilke from "Le |

Writing is powerful and theraputic, it's helped me alot; and when you look back at what you have written, sometimes it is as though "I now face myself, staring out at truth" Jon |

Brutally honest. Maybe someday I'll have the courage to grow up and be you. Hit home hard! |

You have said a ton here. In the end, we all have to face ourselves and come to terms with who we are. Well done. LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Wow! Well penned, great flow and rhyme, and I do relate. The truth isn't always kind, but most often it is necessary for the soul, even if it paints a dark picture~ Take care, Melissa~ |

This is a thoughtful and courageous composition. I often think I write to let others see me, but you are undoubtedly right that it is a good way to see ourselves. I love it when you people make me think! To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |
