Still having a very hard time to stay online A technical problem on my phone line. Hopefully it will be sorted out soon!! ***************** "Losing My Mind" I walked away from home�in self-pity On this gravel road my footfall loud The only other sounds around me Birds that�s singing� mocking me Sitting somewhere on unseen branches Leaves that flutter softly in the wind The shadows slightly chilly Starting to kick some stones out of my way Something I was never allowed as a child I am cold so afraid Something is wrong with my PC But what�wish I knew? Cannot stay connected damn Not even for longer than five minutes I feel like running away I need to get away from this moment From this place that�s driving me insane Overhead I hear a fish eagles call I think of people I can really talk to I pick up a stick that�s in my way Swinging it around like a drum majorette Then hitting stones hard like a pro in golf Hitting it even harder With all the strength within me Trying to get rid of my bad mood� my anger That my body allows me to show I let the stick fly through the air With the last stone that I hit� Watching it�thinking� The yell out real loud Fly to hell if you want to I started to jog�then started to run I need to run fast�faster and faster Till my legs started to burn I stopped laid back on the grass beside the road I closed my eyes breathing heavy Trying to catch my breath To re-group Then the tear came Running freely Knowing I am here in this moment All alone *Copyright � 2005 Tinka Boukes*

Hang in there, Tinka. My phone was out for two days last week and I had trouble coping. It makes me wonder how we survived without them. Hope all is well, soon. Beautiful piece of poetry, too, by the way.
