[hometext] => ....And sometimes I just have to say what I need to say, even if nobody understands, and even if nobody likes it.
[bodytext] => The colour of anger,
Dribbles out through whispers,
And weeping,
Painting the sky an empty grey,
The reflection of me, now.
But the mirror,
Is smeared and dirtied,
Disguised with feeling;
The sillhouette,
Of what I have become.
(These empty whispers echo,
Through the spaces,
In between the places,
Where the trees reach the sky.
And I can see myself in the shadows.
That the grey hides.)
I'd gather up smiles,
Like daisies on a field,
And weave them into chains,
If I could.
But the flowers just wither,
And chains rust and break,
And --
Smiles won't do any good.

This is very good Philly...Sadly emotive, but filled with wonderful imagery nonetheless. I really like the second, and last stanzas. Well done. Hang in there...

A powerful write, with very effective imagery. It feels sort of sad and forlorn. Withholding a lot of anger, but not successfully expelling it. So even stalwart efforts...... smiles "won' t do any good"..."The gray that hide",,, is another powerful image.
Very well done, Philly. It feels that you are depicting a situation where the person does not feel empowered.

Sweetie, I LOVE this piece. It's so beautifully woven. Even through
the sadness it moves me deeply. I love the imagery and your
amazing word choices. Your writes are always such a pleasure.
The second stanza is truly outstanding. It conjures an almost
hopeless feeling. Brilliant work Phillygirl. Be proud !!

So powerfully written, the depth of emotion is just stunning. I hope things do better for you, and that writing will be there for you through the hard times.
God bless.
