No One Talks About Until...

Today I walked into a room filled with heartache and pain fear of the unknown crept inside as the here and after life crossed everyone’s mind.



You stand there searching for just the right words yet no magical words appear and the lump forms right in the middle of your throat.

Then before you realize it several hours have past and it still does not seem real to you or no one else...



The 3 to 4 waiting days are indeed the longest in your life and then there is…

One Day At A Time:

This is a recent poem I wrote off the top of my head:

 

ONE DAY AT A TIME:



One day at is time is

what I have heard them

say but only after their

shattered dreams and

And then they seem

to slowly learn to

take but only one

day at a time.



As their lives are turning

ever so slowly and some

things are regained but yet

there are some things …

I am all suited up with my emotional gear for the very first time my eyes are clear and vision restored my heart is open and my soul is intently watching and listening from within and my body is attached to my mind and soul and I can pinch myself and actually feel it and I can feel my feelings and sense my own reality and I am not numb to the world around me for I have been to the bottomless pit of nothingness and am fighting my way back to emotional freedom for my inner child who needs a…

Even Writers can't Write

 

I stutter and stumble over words that I can't get out, 

The feelings bubbling up inside, make me want to scream and shout. 

There are just some things even a writer can't write - 

Those tear you apart, rip a h*** in your heart, 

Make you feel like you've been flung from a great height - frights. 

It's like certain words refuse to be penned, 

My mind scared…

Worth

She wanted to write the words that might kill her.





Kill is a little drastic, but partially true. The urgency is conveyed. Maybe it isn't all that drastic.





She stowed the notebook and the marker, in a superficial show of secrecy. They knew she had these things. Probably read every word she wrote.





They were coming. Coming for what, she didn't know. She never knew. As far as she could tell she had been in this room for just over two months and no… Continue
