This shell, opaque encompasses my fragility while containing fragments of all that is left of me I feel the suns rays of golden trying to warm the cold edges of this chilling sigh, and I can hear the rush of life swirling by. With fists clenched I hammer away trying to break free... my screams fall into silence, passers by cannot hear my cry of please.... This shell now hardened will not easily break but still; I scratch and claw trying to create a fissure that would allow my soul escape from this cocoon of emotions that have binded themselves to tightly around me suffocating the fantast I used to be.... {rp~revised 5-25-05} {fantast= visionary, dreamer} I really want to care, I want to feel something, let me dig a little deeper nah, still nothing~ my give a DAMN is busted.

I am amazed, when I read a strong poem, here in pip, and it gets so few replies.... This is one of those times...So I am happy to send this one back to the top...  Well done, Donna ------------ice ><> LeeJ The readers third eye must be wide open, in order to bring into focus the meaning of words in a poem such as this, and also see how well the arrangement of thought is portrayed in a poets special style.... The poet also, must have a "middle eye" that is not blind to the workings of the world, in order to write them out in understandable form. MHO |

Glad this came back up. It is beautifully written but so filled with sadness. Sometimes it is hard to seperate the poetry from the writer and I tend to want to "fix " the problem. Even when there really isn't one. best to you gentle spirit. martyjo |

I apologize my friends for the lateness of my reply, but I do thank each of you and appreciate you each far more than I can express. Hugs and peace to all. |
