Never close enough

0 posted 2005-05-06 02:47 AM


My desk sits near a window
beyond the glass - lives the world
I'm trapped by my thoughts
more often than not

He asks almost daily how I am
and my answer
is always
the same
"I'm fine."
This agrees, and he walks away with a smile

He would never leave my side
if I really let him know
what went on in my brain
as I sit here
staring out the window
at the world going by

Did Emily, Plath and Pound feel this way?
Is depression a suit that poets wear
neatly pressed every day?

Perhaps tomorrow I will walk outside
then maybe I can breath
and be truthful the next time he asks -

"How are you?"

"Not good, not good at all."


Choose to live, and love and all the in betweens.  Dry your eyes, and shelter your heart and let the pendulum swing.
