Inspecting
the aftermath
crouched
bare knees
makes me need
to claim
foetal position
as mine
and only mine
because
I am
alone
in sight
of what a
mess
destroyer
left
behind.

Instant karma's gonna get you.

I know this position, too, and just hate it if I allow it to last for very long.


So comfort yourself ... then please, move on.

Hi gemjop...

I know exactly what you mean. The short lines really make the feelings hit home hard.

But things get back on track, and it gets better. I remember reading a quote from "The Power Of One" by Bryce Courtenay... I think it goes something like "sadness has a season and it will soon pass".

Ok I am completely blown away by this because I pictured you huddled in
a corner, dark out, afraid with a
nightgown on with your knees showing
hugging yourself

Sorry, that is what I saw from this
Damn Gem

Get through the inflicted sorrow and move on as fast as you can, as mentioned earlier...depression is a greater evil

'Tis only one direction
along the winding road ...


      with sun to your face
      and the wind to your back


   learn to sail
     to wail

                reach for those stars ...

            they are yours to behold
