Quite simply, I loved this poem, if 'love' is an appropriate word that is........you seem to have found a small window to my soul....

Thank you.

I like this a lot. You hit the nail on the head. How many people do this? Fascade? Some pretend to feel the feelings that they know they should feel, but "slowly, slowly" everyday is only an opportunity for another fascade, to continue the 'numbing game'

"How do I feel? when my feelings don't even work?"
-Lost Prophets 'still laughing'

"Fall through the cracks of this world" that's a good line. It gives an image for the next line "and be consumed by the fires..." OF HELL? Be careful, you're not dead yet. You want identity, you want satisfaction, you want to live? Well you have to kill the fascade, end the numbing. And if you want to know how to do that, e-mail me. stikker4life@yahoo.com L8sauce

For many years no one knew how bad I felt. I hope things are better for you now.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
