Notes About The Poem

Hi Everyone, I wrote a blog about my writer's block and frustration about the ads. And to my surprise shortly after I posted the blog this is what I came up with. Bare with me as I come out of the writer's funk I'm in :-) Alexis

Walking Aimlessly

I am no longer  hurt I’m numb

   Dead man walking

I can't feel a thing

   Dead man walking

Tears have dried up 

   Dead man walking 

I merely exist

   Dead man walking

Me and the Tin Man are the same

   Dead man walking 

I am no longer here nor there

I’m simply a “Dead man walking “ aimlessly

This is powerful poetry, Alexis! My kind of intellectual ruminating, emotionally illuminating prose. Keep shining the heart flashlight on the real struggles people go through in their lives (I'm not saying this is your current state of mind) ... it helps when someone understand the pain and hurt others are going through. Very riveting poetry. Shooting star bright write. Love and peace always.

Certainly not Alexis, your words speak loudly and I see a live person walking. The dreaded block hits us all sometimes but always comes back. Ads sadly are a way of life everywhere you look or go they're being shoved under your nose. Sign of the times I suppose. Welcome back. Tom
