    Desperation

    I feel free and trapped at the same time.

    A part of me comes alive; yet a part of me is dying.

    Where is the hope? Where is the horror?

    My eyes see only in the distance.

    I reach for something I cannot see.

    I look around, and I cannot understand what is happening to me.

    My world is changing.

    I feel lost, yet I am here amongst what is familiar.

    I fell dead and alive at the same time

    What is this, and who am I?

    Where is my world, and what is it made of?

    I am afraid of what I do not know...my reality.

    Just love browsing your poems frog and you share so vividly many questions each one of us asks ourselves, one time or another. The sentences are spaced apart and that really shows that this poetry needs to be read slowly and deliberately. You sure have a way of showing the depth of your sould in your poetry. Your style is your own and that is what makes your poetry so interesting. So full of passion and compassion........

    Thank you.

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
