I dig deep inside my heart Searching frantically for missing parts Where could they have gone Disappearing before the new day dawns? I sit and feel the emotions flood Running over me like fresh blood They easily bring me to my knees Silently my heart screams its pleas Do you hear the despair echo about As my mind continues to shout? Will anyone truly care About the pain I feel in there? Sometimes I wonder why go on I was nothing more than a pawn In the little games you played Weakening me so I stayed I felt anguish fill my soul Threatening never again to be whole What has been left in the past Should be laid to rest here at last I am weary from the fight It stalks my days and haunts my night Leaving me with no sense of peace When will my agony cease? The battle inside still rages Pouring across these blue pages The victory shall not be mine Anger destroyed the finish line I hang my head in defeat My heart won’t be complete It beats on despite the hole Obliviously striving for the goal All writing comes by the grace of God. -Ralph Waldo Emerson [This message has been edited by Lone Wolf (edited 07-18-2001).] |

Get your little self back here and change those last few lines Missy, the victory WILL be yours, ok? I'm not going to let you give up without fighting, you rewrite that in your heart and then it will come out from a beautiful, vibrant, hopeful young woman who has so many good qualities half the people here don't even know it! Well, let me tell them all, hey you PIPERS, this woman is kind, compassionate, caring and devoted to her friends, do you hear me? She deserves to know that her words matter to the poets here she has so kindly and loyalty replied to and has now bore her heart here, let's give her some love and support and tell her that she is NOT a lone wolf. your recognition as a poet, friend and woman is long and sorely overdue.....  love you "It's easier to kill love than to nurture it" Fred Hardesty Kathleen [This message has been edited by Irish Rose (edited 07-18-2001).] |

An apology to you. I inadvertently posted a reply as a new post. Being the new village idiot isn't easy. Anyway, I suspect you are a strong person, as your writing rings of honesty and truth, and is very well written. Midnitesun |
