a bird with clipped wings
a robin without voice
a harp with no strings
a decision without choice
a salmon seeking a stream
a diamond without reflection
a player cut from the team
a compass without direction
this life that I’ve led
from the day conceived
ensures that I’m dead
without having breathed

i freaking know that feeling so well... i have just spent the better part of the last year there... and let me tell you,,, i am feeling the fog lift... baby steps... but it is so much better than no steps at all......
this was a very intimate write... i really enjoyed it.
Thanks Jodi. Although I've been to these places it's never lasted more than a couple of days. Actually I wrote this with my sister in mind. She has suffered with depression and some type of axiety disorder for many, many years.
This is a test. I'm not receiving e-mail notification when comments are being posted.
Very sad, very somber. The first stanza is outstanding. Certainly you get your message across.
This served as a reminder that although I sometimes complain I'm actually very blessed.
