I have found most blessings can be avoided, if destiny overlooks them. Situations arise like an insatiable fog, where passing through them is the only way to put them behind us. Mistakes are when your eyes shift in my direction, and all I feel is guilt, I'd almost forgotten what blame feels like. I am a well conditioned excuse, or an unwanted obligation, I am not human. Anger is heat and sweltering discomfort that resembles a pitiful embrace, that without reason, defies all logic. This is not a dream, in my most insane moments I am disgusted by my honesty, I wish this away, so that I might feel.... Joy is like my backseat in the dark watching stars melt in the sky.. Tracing the wind with my fingertips, and all I can think about is how you made me feel. But I am so soon reminded of how solitary and involuntary laughter can be, so we are stuck...in such lonesome despair... ..it's a prison that watches us descend below and beyond all sanity, leaving us with cryptic messages to decode..and hoping in silence that we crack like useless mirrors.. Although, it is all really a reflection of what it feels like to die. |

I think everything is that, megs. Death and regeneration. We only grapple like jugglers, to explain the differences, we keep the answers in the air. Hugsssssssssss |

'where passing through them is the only way to put them behind us." and sometimes that is what we need to do...noting of course how we do it and why. "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

Excellent poem. It left me sad, and tired of what happens between people. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

Megs, your writing is amazingly powerful and brutely honest...and yet, like anyone who self examines, tends to over self persecute...you made a mistake, and yet, know the pain of this you speak of...it is when we realize, the hurt we've caused others, and it is then, I think God smiles down on us the most, for realizing our injury to others...and trying to better those moments, soften the blows, as we sometimes hurt so badly Hugs hun |

I often wondered why some bad parts of life hurt so much, and no answers could I find, until I realized how wonderful the "good" feels when it comes Fantastic writing but a sad one. ~* C'est la vie *~ |

where passing through them is the only way to put them behind us. "stepping through the shadow, coming out the other side..stepping through the shadow 46 & 2 just ahead of me" life is nothing but tests, and i'm failing miserably..but "i must keep reminding myself of this..." |

"But I am so soon reminded of how solitary and involuntary laughter can be, so we are stuck...in such lonesome despair..." That just spoke to me. Thank you for making me think Tima |
