This sickness makes my head pound Eyes ache until they close and I forget. The camera adds ten pounds My mind adds fifty Eyes stream fingers shake I choke and pain swirls down the drain in Technicolour Another morning Dawning of realisation Awning of pain Tattered tisue in my hand A cough tears my throat, cutting me with wasted air Holding me in mortality Caress my heart, just don't forget A mirror makes me bleed I have an enemy in every shop window she tells me with a double chin and dizzy spell I am no one. Please, don't try to tell me with your broken words and weeping mouth I Want You To Get Better I can't there is no better only what used to be And what I must do I don't want this anymore This cycle of Dread Shame and heaving for breath. No more tears No more pain Please, no more. [This message has been edited by playing.with.crayons (09-03-2006 05:08 AM).] |

I must tell you that I felt this poem in all it's heartbreaking reality. THIS is was poetry is....making someone feel... Excellent, excellent work. Please keep writing from your heart and you will always be a great poet!! And if this is from experience, I hope you know that the feelings you have are feelings that so many of us have - you are just able to put them into words. You inspire us... |

I can really feel the inner turmoil. How gallant are those who face such trials. Excellently and sensitively expressed! I am not online much, but when I have a chance to read, I'll look in on you and your posts. Thank you for sharing. miscellanea |

This touches me on a very personal level and I read so many different types of pain in it. If this is about you, then I would offer, rely on yourself, your strength, and know that you are beautiful. If not about you, then please let this person know that they are beautiful too. We are here, listening. I have had the displeasure of dealing with many of these issues in my life and in the lives of those I love. If I am not overstepping my bounds, I would share something with you that I shared with someone very close to me in real life. From a song, "it's better to be hated for who you are than to be loved for who your not" If you ever need an ear, I'm just an email away. |

Poet DeVine, Miscellanea and Gentle Spirit ~ your posts made me want to cry. I couldn't have asked for warmer and kinder replies. yes, I remember a quote that was something like "The trouble is, most of us would rather be ruined by praise than be saved by criticism." Kind of not the same but you know. I wrote this after I had a bit of an episode with cardiac arrhythmia. You know the side effects but the battle to stop is too overpowering. Much love and laughter to the beautiful people at Pip. cheye xx |
