Tearless Weeping

Tearless Weeping Shallow breathing Can I breathe? Control my environment? Lest the alternative, recluse, seclusion This is living death for me Unacceptable, incapacitating Hell on Earth! Eternal fire, would be kinder A nice change Physical Pain, I am Alive, I feel! Shallow breathing Can I breathe? No reindeer games’, Clench my teeth UP! It Suk If not me, than who? Exactly Shallow breathing I must adapt to the world For it will not change for me Deep breathing The alternative, not acceptable I WILL BREATH Sunshine Williams

Your introductory offering on Soup is expressive and full of emotion. You may have to adapt to the world, but that does not mean that you have to become a different person. Wishing you all the best....paul
