Hey Chelsea!!! Hum... What else was I suppose to do with the voices swimming in my head.. If I didn't write they might get bored

No... I write a lot these days. No reason really... I just love it. It's comforting in an odd way. Kind of like going to the mountains and sitting out by the lake on a sunny day, and letting the breeze blow gently on me... no radio or noise... and chilling. That is what writing has become... my vacation

And, I finished my son's costume!!!

Hello.....got one to share...hope you all like it.

Letting Go

Letting go…

It’s so much more painful than I had once thought.
How easy it’s been to deny;
How hard I have brazenly fought

Against all reason
Against all the voices
That have repeatedly told me that I’m holding on
To a dream
No, a nightmare
That will eventually consume me.
A battle too tough – it will defeat me in the end.

So I let go.
Letting go of everything familiar,
Of everything that I’ve come to know.
If I can just hang in there…take it day by day
And break down my seemingly impenetrable wall;
And open up the floodgates, so my tears are free to fall.

I don’t want to let my suffering go in vain;
If I turn back now, I’ll end up feeling twice the pain.
There is nothing more courageous than finally giving in
To a fight that’s truly pointless…one I want to—but will never—win.

Change…is it such a daunting thing?
When you ponder the possibilities; the rewards it can bring.
Letting go of the past….and opening the mind;
Who knows what’s in store, what is meant for us to find.

[cgs2007]

wow that really has alot of meaning for me right now... i thought i had let someone go... and then today i found something that i threw away... and i took it as a sign... but maybe i shouldnt have.... and now im wishing i wouldnt have found it..

[cgs2007]

I saved your life,
And you never knew.
I know how hard it was,
I went through the same pain as you.

I watched you everyday,
I saw the pain in your eyes.
And I couldn’t look away,
Because I heard your cries.

You wanted help,
And I did everything I could.
Its ok now,
Just like I knew it would.

Life is getting better,
For you and me.
The clouds have disapeared,
And I can finally see.

My questions have been answered,
And now its time.
To finally have what I need,
And say goodbye.

So for now,
It’s the end.
All that’s left to be said,
Is good bye my friend.

Letting go, and knowing when to do so, can be VERY difficult and confusing. I hope your situation and decisions work out for you. Thanks for sharing your poem.

Great works Blue and Christine.

Going to a darker place...

Here I Still Bleed

Look at me.

Tell me what you see?

I say,
That you are blind.

You don't see me at all.

Not a shadow,
In the distance.

Not a halo silhouette,
That is brought forth by the light.

You don't see me at all!

Here,
I stand.

Bleeding...
And at loss for a reason,
Why you stand to treat me so poorly.

You don't know me.

I am just like everyone else,
And thankfully very different from you.

Selfish... and with a dark heart you pretend to be someone that you are not.

Before the world,
You cleverly smile.

Wit,
Is so becoming of you.

I see you.

I know what lies you pass...
Your so called truth.

Hurt me.

Make me bleed,
And still away all that I treasure.

Not money.

Not love.

My peace.

My treasure,
Is that peace within my soul.

Too many years have passed me without it,
And once it was mine I swore I would never let it go...
And now it is gone.

Hurt.

Anger.

I no longer,
Have any feelings to control.

And yet,
Here I still bleed...
And you smile and walk away.

I am unseen.

[blueeyz]

I really like this one, Steph. Esp. the lines:
"You don't know me.
I am just like everyone else,
And thankfully very different from you."

[bostongirl]

Is there a full moon, or something?? . We have alot emotion spilling onto this sweet little thread Seriously -

Blue - Letting Go is a difficult subject and a difficult process that most can relate to. Good job.

Christine - I love your piece. Very emotional. If it were going to have a title, I would choose Good Bye. I hope you post some more.

Steph - Wow.

[cgs2007]

thanks liz! im still not for sure what i want to call it yet.... it has to do with something that happened over this summer with one of my friends and this horrible situation that happened that i didnt really want to be brought into but i couldnt not do anything about it....

steph i really like yours! its good...

and yeah i have to admitt that there has been alot of emotion coming out but its good to get it out...

[bostongirl]

Christine - It is always better to get it out Leaving it bottled up will only cause it to ferment and explode, sooner or later

[cgs2007]

yeah.... i have had alot of that in my life before... thats why i always talk about it with my close friends. it helps me feel better and get it out in the open and out of my head

[starcrossed]

Thank you Blue, Christine and Boston. I fixed my typo on my post... I put 'out' twice by mistake. That is what happens when I write it as I type...

Emotions are spilling out. I hope that is a good thing. This week has been weird for me personally... some good stuff, but also some things that I could do without. I swear life is never easy is it?LOL

[blueeyz]

Thank you, Star and Boston.

May the emotions continue to spill and the words continue to flow.....

[starcrossed]

This is a different place in my head...LOL Romantic poem anyone?

Love Me, As I Love You

Beauty of a thousand dreams...
How much I love you.

You are such a gift.

I count the moments we share,
Like each grain of sand upon the black sand beach.

You are perfection.

How I would scream upon the rooftops,
Of how much your light shines.

Sing upon every stage built or torn down,
How much I want you.

You are my precious love.

All that my heart,
Has every yearned for.

All that my heart has ever needed...
Yet never knew.

How I love you.

Sweet beauty.

My only heart.

Take all that I am,
And hold me within your arms.

I am,
Yours alone.

Forever and without regret.

Holding onto each breathe...
Your words give me life.

Love me,
As I love you.

[blueeyz]

Very sweet, Steph. And while it can be read with the interpretation of "romantic love," it can also be read with the interpretation of "parent/child love." In my opinion, of course.

[blueeyz]

Here's one....both sad and hopeful.

Clearly

Clearly
You intend to pull me into
Your dark and hopeless world.
Misery loves company
And you need me by your side
So you can vent all your anger and your visions of gloom.

But I woke up this morning
Seeing clearly at last.
My room was dark and cold
But I could only see light.
I need to hold on to this feeling
So I don’t slip away
Into an abyss of loss and stillness, my dreams unable to bloom.

I am sorry for your sad state of mind.
It must be hard to get knocked down
Over and over again;
But you have a choice:
Allow yourself to wallow, to sink deeper into the ground
Or to stand up like a fighter ready to go another round.

I know…
It’s easy to spew such rhetoric.
I have washed my palate to the best of my ability
So my words come across pure and true.
Please understand….
My focus has been blurry as of late.
And I need to take care of my broken spirit
Before I can help repair all that’s broken in you.

I feel strong today.
But will I feel strong tomorrow?
Will my heart’s wings fold, not wanting to open,
Closing off, in pain and sorrow?

The future is unknown,
But these words I write are now;
Inside me to help me believe;
Out there for me to reread
When I clearly need a hand to lift me up once again;
I hope you read this too, my dear and lonesome friend.
