Someplace in between the darkness and light
In the varying shades of grey
I struggle on with my plight
One step foward
Ten steps back
Never sure of where I'm going
Not even sure of the way back
Day to day
Night to night
I continue to fight
This battle knows no victors
Sadly there are no knights
Nor maidens fair
Just a weary poet
Searching in her words
For the one thing that will bring her salvation
Before she perishes from emotional starvation
She casts her desires to the sea
Only to wait to see if they will come back to me
Standing upon the shore
Thinking thoughts so impure
The feeling of despair
Fills her air
With a final glance to the west
She plunges off the cliff
To her awaiting death

Just have to remember to think that if we take that last step, it is
neither forward nor back, and not the cure for emotional torture, just a
worthless escape. I don't mind when i think like that, but it hurts
to see others think like that. 10 steps back and 1 step forward is a
start at least, but haven't the ability to step at all is a hell of
a lot worse. Keep going, release pains through writing, and remember,
things aren't always as bad as we sometimes feel. If you can't think
of yourself, think of those you'll hurt that love you before taking
that last step! One never knows of the happiness that just one more
day has the power to bring! (or 2, 3, 4, etc....)

Your writing is very strong...
and still touches me deeply...
emotional starvation is healed,
by the love and shoulders of your friends...
like a note in a bottle...time will deliver unto you,
that which you seek from your heart and soul...

please wait for that bottle to wash upon your shores,
before you take that step...

my shoulders are strong,my ear is listening,
and my mouth closed....M.

There are knights that will fight for us
We just have to give them the keys
To our hearts so hard and abused
We have to heal and learn to trust
Never give up
Continue to fight
take each day
One at a time
Smile and say I'll give it anothr try
You never know
where Prince Charming lies
Kiss him and awaken him
and He'll desire
Your lonely heart and perhaps be true

Tis sad to think,
there are so many-
desiring love,
yet so afraid-
TO BE...
To find that love in self,
is the opening of that door-
locked no more,
for others eyes,
the mirror will fore tell...
to be...
Becomming one takes truth,
honesty above reproach,,,
and faith beyond
beleifs-
some time to mold the clays
of life-
the pleasures will unfold,
to make you happy
once again,,,
tis but...
TO BE.
