Morning, summer wings shiver. I felt consumed by the sun, held onto too tightly. I missed my miserable circulation. Watching my nimble limbs wave in the wind. Insignificancy is a disease, contagious and an assassination of the soul. I am writhing in painful realization, that I am not worth the blood. |

Very deep write. Abundance of vivid pictures here. You have a beautiful way of painting painful pictures of yourself. So, I have this to offer. I love the poem. It brims with the talent of an incredibly gifted, talented, and feeling writer. With all of those traits lifting you from the ashes how can you possibly feel insignificant. To the contrary, I find nothing insignificant about you here at all. I only find the brilliance of a gifted, intelligent poet. Wishing you would take another look in the mirror, Kevin |

I like little writes like this. This is a little piece of writing I can relate to. How often have I thought to myself, "cripes, I'm not worth the oxygen in my blood cells." Then it dawns on me, I'm only one out of nearly 7 billion human beings with self-worth issues. If we're all not worth the blood within our veins, I'm sure nature will make sure she corrects the problem soon enough. Until then, I've realized that, well, here I am, might as well see what can be done with this existence. Who knows? Maybe something really positive and contributive can come of it. -- I no longer ask who I am, or even what I am. It has dawned on me that there are no answers to such questions, except for our feeble-minded notions |

This is a very fine personal poem, and one that finds you looking introverted, i agree with Kevin, take another look in the mirror. When i feel like this i look at how lucky i am, to have food, clothing, shelter and good health.How many on this earth can say they have that?The basic things in life are being denied to fellow human beings, i dont look too introverted anymore....thank you for the words..

Karou, actually, my take is a little different from most above. I find that reaching this point is necessary in our realization of how very blessed life is; from that humbled state, we can see things differently -- the miracle of maybe not being worth it, but despite that, we have this gift and the cosmos embraces us no matter how unworthy or small we see ourselves. All a bit overwhelming. Great write.  .....jo |

What sorrow and saddness. Goldenrose is on track. Our level of self is determined by our comparisons. If we compare to what we wish for, we want, if we compare to what we have as compared to others, we realize our true state of being. Kevo is also right. You write with depth and talent. And your worth is great in the sight of those who love you. Look into the mirror and love thyself, for thou art beautiful. Susan The whole of the Universe resides within each individual heart. |

no need to lecture this is a mood, a very valid one, and you speak of it exquisitely |

Watching my nimble limbs wave in the wind. Insignificancy is a disease, contagious and an assassination of the soul. Meg, you catch my breath every time, damn you. Dark and beautiful, and so honest. |
