on the open road with the wind blowing in my hair

often--
when i am alone
and people have let me be
and i sit and stare
at the wooden chair
sitting in the corner
next to the window
that connects me to the world
the window
that is dirty
from my handprints
that are placed there
when i look out it
to the dirt that was blown there
from the tree on the ouside
but now it does reside
on my window
but i do not care--
yes, often when i am alone
i cry
but i do not know why.

the only people for me are the mad ones-mad to live, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at once--jack kerouac

So much depth of feeling in these lines.  The turmoil of tortured self reflection brought vividly to life in your potent words.  Very well done.

I really like the way this is done and put together.  Very cool poem

you brought us into your thoughts and the room and... I think many of us cry, with no reason.
I like this

...just let the tears continue to flow--"the truth will come out in the washing"...

Warm, loving hugs,
