Your pain, out of body, mind and spirit
aching, tables are turning
You can't prevent what you can't predict
And then you wait
but why, the scene is right here
You know what you want
Going from fear buried deep inside

Let the world sink themselves
concern with eyes but don't dwell
Don't care too hard about the unwell
The dishonest, put away from your sight
Disloyal, all words and no bite
You look into the clear cut sky
it doesn't lie to you
You don't know him, nor does he you
Backbone or timeless closure
reach the ending
Nature has the answers

You smile but nobody sees it
Just you, how hard it must be
to laugh, make yourself laugh
Heal your every waking urge to matter
You put yourself in this position
don't deny it
Stop hiding it
Wash it down with the rain amidst the sunshine shoved down your eyes
Blinding the darkness with a new guise
Seal the pain with art, but it breaks through ever still
Can't know everything and never will

The mirror is scary but it's all you know
All you need, nobody destroyed it, an image burns aglow
Venom in tears dripping down like warm, salted fears
You can't but you force your face, a nameless wonder
Still clinging to the meaning, to the dream
A hope for a better day, thoughts created
renewed, restored, a warmer blooded woman

Stare back, let the face welcome you
Accept, learn, forget
Lips chapped, eyes wide and shining, ready to fall down
but still there
Unsafe riding in uncharted territory
terrified of these moments but
can't close your windows forever
Because you still care

-Audrey

Excellent write on so many levels.....

Audry, this is very well put together.

introspective writes are sometimes difficult to keep on track, but you have managed it quite well. all of the key elements are here and you did just what many people can't/don't do; you got through it without apology. for me, that's what sells it and i am buying.

great job!

Thanks for sharing Beautiful

I feel your pain,
I understand your pain
because I can, knowing
I can walk away!

I wonder,
who will feel my pain?
not I, it hurts too much.

Loved it.

Thank you guys!
