Enthusiastic Lunacy

The ticking, etching the central location Talking about something Talking about nothing To feel Or not A thought, a question Will this dare leave me now? I can’t see my world it has gone blind Where I look and to what I find Passages of time Knowing the purpose Or not knowing Hide it quick its showing They cannot know me For if they do they shall be sickened be on compare For so long you’ve been my friend So don’t fail me now My paper, my pen in my hand A place to run to A dream to dream The ticking, etching the central location The writer's scream

Laura, you're far too hard on yourself. While it is great to have your paper and pen to express your emotions, please don't be afraid to let your inner self show. You have many friends here who love you, regardless of the "enthusiastic lunacy" you may sometimes feel. It only adds to the high quality of your writing! I hope you'll be kind to yourself this holiday season and embrace the Christmas spirit. Much love, Carolyn

A deep scream seems to come from all of us...whether it is ever heard or not....quite often it can be a silent one...but it is there. Well done, Laura. ~ Carrie

Laura... "the writers scream"... wonderful, your poem shows how from agony comes powerful words, full of deep emotion. I can tell these words come from your soul..
