Sixteen years to echo… And a voice that I'm still breaking in. She told me that I shouldn't speak. "Teach silence to the babies Voices are for crazy ones..." She said. Learning how to be her, Just so I could feed her Grapes and morphine. She taught me how to clean and sigh... Guess I learned to speak and cry Alone. Since she died I whisper to her picture on my shelf... And let her call me crazy As I stand up for myself. He was a man of sorrows |

Wow, girl, this is so great. Since she died I whisper to her picture on my shelf... And let her call me crazy As I stand up for myself. I am just taken back. You are a talent. Who taught you that? |

just beautiful! turning mirrors upside down won't make dust fall off the ground, hiding wounds won't ease the pain, sleep won't make you whole again... |

Krawdad, you are so right. I tried to carry her pain for her, like she taught me to do, until even after she died.. and I was 12 then. Its a long journey.... thank you for your words  Sue, it is beautiful, you are beutiful... thank you. A happy new year to you also, take care...Always, Alyssa He was a man of sorrows |
