Poem Artwork

 

inside out back under and through

making lists
checking them twice
i can't remember
naughty from nice

this is not happiness
i am merely
very un-nearly
marking time

the places i remember
have all disappeared
fingerprinted inner landscapes
smeared by inner pain.

today is all we have
no real comfort there
for the likes of me
having unbecome myself

when i return
how will i be
and what of my self
who will recognize me?

This is interesting, feels different for you for some reason, more disconnected, colder- your writing is strong.

We've become lost at one time or another. This poem describes the feeling of lost so well.

Dear Anne,
A great play on words to illustrate your inner turmoil and pain but in this I read hope. Perhaps it is because I want to see it. Pain may unravel but love binds together. Allow yourself some love dear lady. You are worth it. Sending you a warm hug across the distance. May you 'become' all that you were meant to be. Great poetry!
Love Chanti

Your angst is palpable. A diamand has many facets but the sum makes it beautiful. Defining hurt and sorrow is difficult, writing about it makes it less painfull but sharing it makes it all worthwhile. No matter how your self turns out it will be recognizable.
Excellent write and read,
Cheers
Alain
