Conversion

[pax]

I read the fragile, perfect words that others write
and ask myself what became of my own,
the painstaking syllables with which
I slept and wrestled for weeks and months.

Then I look at my fingers, not holding a pen
but marking off days, crafting budgets,
paying bills and crossing one digit over another
for luck and efficiency.

The impossible has happened: this girl,
lover of words, has been converted to numbers.

Ugh.... numbers...


heh


Well hey, DOL is always open, so take some time and relieve yourself from those numbers.
And you know what they say, true love never dies.


keep it up

Your little writing was quite good.

Just substitute a word for a number........three could become a tree.........and before you know it..........numbers become words.

Too true Laz, I have to agree, depression is a period of soul searching and misery but ultimately we're stronger when we get ourselves out of it
