Oh, these the soles
of a tender foot
bleeds from blade of grass.

Wondering…
Why I never walked barefoot
over the broken glass
left in the wake
of a tantrum of unwarranted
break.
Mental clarity, your beautiful
insanity.

Broken, broke…

Cracked either way.
The bones, the little sliver
of reality.

Crushed under your insecurity
projected

upon me.

I still hear the silent screams
of tortured soul.
In the dreams I try so hard
to drug out of the dark recesses

of a mind too fragile
too handle anymore
yet,
I am stronger than you ever will be.

The sliver of reality
that comforts me.

But of course you are! Those that can't control their tempers and try to inflict on others, only show how weak their character really is.

Well done Lady Susan.

One simple line...to me could not have been more powerful! Thank you for a grand read.

Thank you Ali.

It really is comforting at times to know they that do the causing are crazier than us...

It's my blankie.

Very good Susan; The imagery was stunning, sometimes a little cryptic (or it could just be me being dense!) but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I especially loved the lines:

of a mind too fragile
too handle anymore
yet,
I am stronger than you ever will be

Where black, bleeding roses await the Thirteen,
I see not the stars, but the darkness between
