I don’t want the door open Make sure the windows are locked Cut the telephone cable Turn my mobile off Shut the world out Then maybe I can shut myself up Because my screaming is deafening Even to me Even on the inside Turn off all the lights Block out all the shadows Turn my world into a gloom all of it’s own My shelter from you Shut the world out Then maybe I can shut myself up Because my tears are overflowing Even in here Even on the inside Cataract my vision Take away all colour Turn the world to shades of grey Make me even smaller Shut the world out Then maybe I can shut myself up Because my head is suffering the blows Even alone Even on the inside Take away my breathing Make this life thing go away Turn me to stone And take me out to play Shut the world out Then maybe I can shut myself up Because after being with you I’ve forgotten how to live Without you Even on the inside. small insignificant useless me [This message has been edited by rm711 (02-20-2003 06:09 PM).] |

This is what I call a wonderfully written poem. Cold hands means a warm heart |

Rosie, this is my favourite poem of yours, it has reached to different levels. this is so honest in its entirety. i really identified with the visions of shutting down all aspects of life, in order to shut yourself up. i could feel the endless patterns of thought that you so want to end, through the repetition of certain lines. its like that feeling where all you want to do is sleep, cos you dont want to think anymore. enjoyed this completely soulfelt write rosie.  lots of love, gemma xxxxxxxxxxx learning each day, for you and i, our paths have met, i've already learnt that you are love. |

My goodness, you just poured it all out and reached out and grabbed this reader! This living hades that you are living in at the present time, has to work itself out--and your writing like this should surely help! This write must have been very cathartic! Keep 'em rollin'! Warm hugs, Earth Angel |
