    A Piece Of Me

     I am disconnected from my writing
    from myself
    My sense of direction which once guided me
    now leads me astray
    I would like to tell you I'm lost
    but I know where I hide
    Within these words, that bend to my will
    For they are my greatest strength 
    my God given gift
    Used to enlighten, to quench a thirst 
    to evade pain
    To keep me a safe distance
    from the life I once knew


    If this is a gift, then why does it hurt
    Am I destined only to reveal 
    wallowing in these halls of dismay
    missing my chance for a normal life
    Cutting these wounds into my soul
    so I can sing an opera of screams
    Your entertainment comes at a high price
    How much more do you want
    Will it ever be enough
    Peel my flesh, savor my pain
    Beat me down and scorn me to hell
    so that I may feel again


    Give these words meaning
    from my sorrow....

    Give my sorrow meaning
    from these words

    Artie - you reached deep into your soul for this one, and then bared it for all to see. Thank you for sharing something so intensely real.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
