Pieces

I’m balancing on a wire Afraid I’m going to fall These thoughts are so confusing now If I’m not careful I, I might lose it all Never know which road to take Or where I should go Feels like it will blow up in my face I just don’t know One minute turns into an hour My mind is in pieces Dark corners alone without someone It’s cold and it freezes These scattered pieces won’t fit together Like a puzzle without edges Put it back in the box, forget for awhile Maybe throw it from the ledges If it’s gone and out of mind It can be gone forever Guess I’ll go back to lying And pretend that I’m better

The emotion comes through your words in this one. Good use of imagery. Hope you take the road of honesty--though it is often more difficult--false facades crack apart in the end. Best wishes with your writing. Karen

Nicely written expressing turmoil of emotions within. Once we put it on paper it helps to get a better perspective on the issue. Keep writing. Sara
