Haven't contributed for awhile. Here's a quick one:


Transparency

I haven't stumbled;
I haven't fallen.
I haven't succumbed
to the shadows in the night.
I haven't lost my way in your anger,
and I haven't shattered my hopes on the rocks of your disbelief.

But I also haven't cried out to the stillness
to wake up the me in me.
I haven't shaken the dust off my shoulders
and challenged the world to turn me away.
I haven't risked my heart or my humanity,
and I haven't pushed my way through to your soul.

I smile through my life without living it,
touching nothing and no one.
I've lost the warmth of the sun
and the scent of the breeze.
I move from town to town,
and go nowhere.

The bars are transparent,
but the cage still exists.

I forgot I even wrote that.

Funny how moods come and go (talking of Michaelangelo) and never stay for too long. I guess I'm glad...I wouldn't want to feel that way forever. But it's good to get a kick in the pants once in awhile...to set you down the right path.

Or even the wrong one, as long as you're going somewhere...

You hit a real truth there scappy. I think we all feel that way sometimes. I know I do. Still, writing it is the best way to get it out I think

bicyclingfish...I'm glad it meant something for you...

popkidU2...apparently the act of writing that one knocked me out of the mood. Thankfully. But it's still so true...
