It seeps from within and presses from without the impossible of thoughts that harbor themselves relying on truthisms sometimes learning more than a heart ever wishes. Sleep escapes, and this face added lines to an already scarred outlook on life, lips pursed, straight lined without a hint of a smile, with even the mirror wincing, when eyes have darkened from the softness of hazel. A tight throat left over from the inner screams of a yesterday when tears welled up and he says, "Now why are you crying" ( he always hated that about me, even though it was my sensitivity that drew him to me, I suppose) I never wanted my life to be in words that he would never see, or that others would feel pity upon. I never wanted to feel betrayed, by one, or another or belittled or have myself pushed down inside so deep that it has taken this long to rise above it again. (With a hint of teetering always a possibility) I never want to feel that way again, even though feeling is what tells me I am still alive. I don't want to be questioned as to why, when answers are never to be found, and if pondering too long, the negativity is sure to win out. I don't want you to unlock some special door inside my mind or heart...there is none. I am who I am, and there is nothing more, except what could be added from without. I don't write poetry anymore, I write blinded thoughts, masked delights or mirrored wishes, when all I really want is to say my truths, to not hide. to be allowed to be me, because I am and have always been infatuated with life. M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." (Will Moss) |

Maureen, I loved this, a very personal write, a naked truth that many can not express, but that you have with such feeling and sharing, enjoyed. Who are we to be but ourselves? Sincerely Rick |

when all I really want is to say my truths, to not hide. to be allowed to be me, because I am and have always been infatuated with life. And life flows ... it does not stagnate. And you flow with the life with all your deep and beautiful sensitivity. Love and hugs. Margherita  |

I think your words should be put onto walls that say " I am me" It makes for an interesting life when we all say "I am me" and a better one dave |

The only reason to teeter might be that the high heels are too high, bunny shoes's were never made for walking. So step right on up, let no one hold you down. |

M...thank you for both the response and emails. Margherita, some days I am touched to my soul and it just has to get out. Thank you hugs. Sy and Barry..yes..I can only be me...and if it isn't good enough well then..what can I say... Thank You Vandana for reading Dave...gotta watch the writing on the walls you know  M yv, wounds well yes..some in the past some that will continue for a while longer but hopefully no new ones to be added. time prophet, I never was very good with heels...in fact I wouldn't be too surprised to find them all dry rotted in the upstairs closets...and I am not too sure the bunny wore heels after all~~~ laughing at you (sort of) M |
