Echoing Silence

Why am I so bare? I feel like my body lacks bones Unable to move … stagnant But I can feel my soul It is alive It wails and moans I am the only one who hears its anguished tones Hiding in my shadowy corner Trying to avoid being hit by the raining stones How do I escape this place? I feel imprisoned in this zone Do I want to be freed? Do I just want to be left alone?

I see a search for direction on the part of the author (you ; ) in this amazingly good poem! lines 4-9 are exceptionally good! James! in my world, I try to hit a couple lines that are filled with "PIXIE DUST" but you hit 6! (by my count) it wails and moans from somewhere in silence...whoa! great title..... rock-on! bro!!! your friend, jimbo
