Array ( [sid] => 21146 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Watch As She Drowns [time] => 2003-07-28 16:05:00 [hometext] => (inspired by my own and others' feelings...please comment...) [bodytext] => It is impossible
For her to cry these tears of confusion any longer
as impossible as it is to submerge herself in the pain
Try to hold back the chaos,
blink it back into non-submissive endurance
stand up assured and true, proud and correct
The only clue, her wavering eyes, overwhelmed by suffering
too deep to grasp or conceive by taking in -
pearly white skin, smooth like porcelain
or gleaming golden hair, bouncing sunlight from every glittering strand
But catch her crystalline watery glance,
dive in gracefully as the pain swallows you and laps softly over your head
without the slightest sound, drown in those aquamarine oceans
succumb as the despair gushes in, floods and chokes every nerve and tendon
Attempt to escape her customary misery
holding such a residential place in life
that imagining each passing second, liberated from torment’s imprisoning chains,
raises a poignant question:
stripped of the loss, the endless anguish, the living nightmare,
can she be true to herself, does any particle of her soul still exist?
Or is this all that remains - a mask protecting a life dead, surrendered, listless.

this is beautifully written and the imagery is amazing...i hate that you and others feel this way, i'm just glad that life can flip you back to feeling good sometimes. I hope anyone who feels like this can find whatever makes them happy. Another great write, Kate x

Excellent. I feel it, though i felt it before, i have ever felt these four years, a passage of pain, though still have look free. Break away from yourself and live.

All too frequent a scene shown so insulated
and antiseptically on TV.

It takes a poet of your ability to paint the complete picture

Exceptional write is my comment

Deep and telling. Wow, I'm speechless. That's not an easy thing to do.
