Pressed for time, my fingers ply their touch, forehead pain, that from squinting, and thoughts of tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow... My eyes wanting to see more, force more, awaken the happiness in everything. Such waste, these fearful thoughts stamped there, tattooed in black snaking their way into permanency. I could drown myself in soft thoughts of denial, bubbles scented in vanilla with only the barest of the bare rising above... letting the steam lift me to a higher place. I have been stripped of my confidence, more than once, my skin chilled from the defrocking. My outside so frayed...that the edges fold in holding what little pride I have left. A taste of warmth, seeping in, drifting me to places I have never been, bathing now in fantasy, laced taut in the hidden, tomorrow's paradise, if only. I sometimes wonder who I am, what lies beneath this facade, when will the pure show its face and the world acknowledge such existence. The storm brews, the strikes closer, the pounding louder, transporting me back to reality as I step out, pass the mirrored view, press my fingers to the pain and surrender to another day. "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

Acknowledge your own existence first. Embrace her...and your eyes will be opened to just how many of us care deeply about you. Great write. hugs to you, Chris  "Hope" is the thing with feathers |

Maureen "press my fingers to the pain and surrender to another day." I hope time eases the pain I feel in your words, my friend.  |
