I do not understand this world-- and I don't feel understood. Unless of course, this is hell-- then all be as it should. Incessant cries of flesh demands brothers breaking brothers' hands as they fight for scraps of bread attempt to steal breath from the dead... Come hither all---take mine instead. I'll embrace the arms of dread. Within a grove, in crook of tree, fetal now, in memory catatonic in my soul my very skin is mold on bone. I want so badly to go home, and do not know which way to go. |

This reminds me of a beautiful poem Elizabeth wrote about the mind, and it being our only "home" Safe Haven. Thank you for sharing this. -befriend yourself and you will never be alone- [This message has been edited by The Lady of Shallot (edited 10-30-2001).] |

Perhaps this is Hell And all is as it should be, I can’t even tell, I got my map from Dante’. As I travel from place to place, Seeing the trampled and beat, I see the anger of life on many a face, Worn by the average guy on the street, That try to eat that rat from the race, With torment never complete. Perhaps this is Hell, And pain is what we should feel, I can’t ever tell, Why does this have to be real. But then I’m one to talk with dead, Or the living ones that are almost there, Sharing a scrap of moldy bread, Going places I really shouldn’t dare, While most go elsewhere instead, Sending scrapes of paper like they care. Perhaps this is Hell, I can’t ever tell. Gloom |

I do not understand this world-- and I don't feel understood. Unless of course, this is hell-- then all be as it should. ==================================== could that verse be any poetically cooler? *shaking me head at you* *S* me thinks if we understood it?? ... then we would be like them..ya know? yes..you KNOW this powerful write aches and drips with pain and confusion me twin. "I want so badly to go home, and do not know which way to go." mirrors baby...more mirrors... they keep telling us its somewhere inside us.. click them ruby slippers baby.... heart-hugs Sen, me This distance has shown how the road remains alone |

Hey sweetie, whats up? I guess I missed something recent, but wow, this sounds like you are hurting more than usual. And that confused feeling-got that one sitting inside my heart right now, too. Yeah, I would not be a bit surprised if this is hell. Take care, Sandra |

serenity - to have such a gift of writing and expressing yourself - just this should give you the will to embrace life no matter what hardships it brings. Interesting piece, Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

 (big hugggsssssssss) Oh Karen, my heart cries out to your sorrow, for many times I too felt this way, as if this was the opposite of heaven, but then I think to myself "This can't be hell either, for His love is always shining through the clouds!". This is not utopia, but it is not hell either, and love is here in all our hearts and we can make this place as bright as possible! (sad sigh) My heart goes out to you, and I hope you can find some beauty in the simple things and feel more better! (kiss on cheek) You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karen, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Wow! As usual, your words hit me hard - there's always such power and raw grace in your cries. And, as usual, I'll say that I relate - I really do, but, then again, each case is it's own type of torment. ~hugs~ Melissa~ "Poetry is not an opinion expressed... |
