' Imprisoned In My Self-Imposed World '

*^* ==================== Urbane cavalcade - flaunt in gaiety Warbling hymns in ego - cyclicity Jigging gracile moves in vivacity Relishing in zest in this gravity Kinsfolk in flamboyant fete - oh its fate? Smiles, elation in face delineate Like nothing's wrong makes me exasperate No one cares? No one adores? it's too late Recurrent nightmares peeve me in sublime Making incubuses remorse in rhyme Bequeathing qualm, fright and fear - death like crime Kith and kin in laughs while I'm in grave time... Storm clouds nestling Earth crying myriad tears Totem poles stand like Death’s coming soon – near Feeling of being neglected –in fear Am I really being loved? Cry? can’t hear. . . ================================================

Wow...once again reading this I'm reminded of it powerful message and questions. I call it my self imposed shelf !! Where I sit much too often observing life passing by...wondering often who cares?? Congrats on your placement in Brians 179 contest !!

To feel alone in a crowd...an awful feeling of anxiety. When movements feel artificial. I relate to this more closely than is comfortable. You've made an excellent statement of these feelings. Congrats on your well deserved win !! I did enjoy reading this, with thoughtfulness and connection.
