Alone Within my mind Its dark in here In these tunnels Roaming amongst my thoughts Searching For a trace I'm lost, confused Wandering through my cell Scared I find a memory I hoped would be erased How do I do it ? Keep you within me Hating Myself remembering Of you and I Blanket my thoughts Lock them inside my head Suface them never again |

Very heavy thoughts, but understandable. I believe that if we can bring that which we would rather forget, back up to the surface of our minds and into the light, and deal with them, hopefully they will be expunged (if not totally, at least partially) from memory--thereby freeing up our minds and hearts for joyous things that won't be clouded by unpleasant things from the past. Very powerful writing Love, Light & Laughter EA |

Julie, this is a very well-written poem. I like it. But, if it's about you, I'd just like to say that pushing hurtful things back down inside ourselves, only makes them hurt longer. I know from experience. Heartaches need to come to the surface, so they can be dealt with and accepted or thrown away. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings, Lady. You have a gift for writing.  "Love makes the world go around" |

Whiskey, You brought to light what many experience. I've decided to take the dark memory and find the good that was there first, though not always easy, it lightens our quest for peace. True loving is letting go that person we wanted to hang onto to. True loving is hoping they find peace and love, even if it isn't with us. And, that is not always easy, either...but, imperative to growth and well-being. Being in a healthy mental, emotional and spiritual place draws healthy people to us...Linda's message is full of wisdom. Thanks for sharing this great poem with us; a real thinking piece. Hugs and warm regards, Pat  ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. "Desiderata" [This message has been edited by regards2you (12-05-2002 11:32 AM).] |

I have heard if you take your darkest scariest thoughts and bring them to the surface just a little at a time...they start to fade. Maybe your words are doing just that for you today. A very nice write on this I must say. Salty In the Midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you. |

I've taken this same trip many times, and each time I'm amazed how, deep within some chasm, some long forgotten memory lurks. May you find your escape from yours. raph |
