How can we be certain?
Feelings of the heart
seem to change so easily
so readily at the drop of a hat
Pain can make one feel so ill
so maladjusted in a life time
Controlling every thought
Every energy within the cell
Disturbed, distraught little girl
lost in an infinite universe
Black is the color she knows
Every orifice the ebon seeps
It becomes like an obsession
an addictive drug to love
The pain, we so loathe
keep bringing it back to see
Relive it over and over
Like something will be figured out
Run it through the grey matter
Set the concrete with doubt
Kill your obsession
and I'll kill mine
I see it doesn't quite work this way
Demons; seems we all have some to play

| I think alot of people can relate to this. I know I can. God knows I can... Well, good write, I enjoyed it thoroughly. I guess we're all obsessed with one thing or another. |

Laura,
you hit raw nerves with this write. I feel this and I understand this. It has been a hard row to float the boat in....... upstream as we go it seems..... Though you know you are right, that is the right direction against the waves.
I wish you the best on this journey back..
It seems we all have our journies goin on these days doesnt it??
Take care and I love ya tons.......

Oh hun ... you have so much in you.
That opening stanza drew me into this like syrup drizzled over ice cream- spreading out and
dripping down the sides; slowly and with conviction they find the bottom where they pool,
waiting to be devoured. Your words are never laid down carelessly and the truth and honesty
behind each one is thrilling and heart breaking all at once, sis.
I have known this kind of torture ... this need, and it is a strong woman who can
sort it all out. You are miraculous. You know yourself so well and with all your woe,
you still manage to see that there IS a path. Hun, I am proud of you and your continued
strength inside your struggle. You have so much for the rest of us to admire and respect.
Exceptional. The poet, the piece, the woman.
peace, love and hugs,
~MG |

Hi Laura,
I think being obsessional is an attempt to be certain in a very uncertaiin world. I too obsess which is an effort to stay in control. The paradox is always there as the more we try to control, the more we risk losing control. It's like squeezing more and more tightly a slipery smooth rock. The harder we squeeze, the more likely the rock will squirt out or our hand.
We must not hang on too tightly.
Well done my friend

This poem has an overwhelming and quite powerful unavoidable feeling in it, it seeks out that something we all hope we won't have to deal with, namely, betrayal. A very
noticable transition your poetry is conveying these days, one of nobility, beautiful my work my sister and i admire your perservierence.
you've displayed something that makes more than just a women a women, you've
risen above the trials of betrayal most majesticaly . . .
((((peace and hugs and love 2u and your endearing family))))
proud 2 call u a friend and sister . . .
your Hippie Bro, Ben . . .
