Lost in myself

Contributed by lostinmyself on Saturday, 18th September 2004 @ 02:44:19 PM in AEST
Topic: selfstruggles



Passers by peer into the window of her soul,
Noses pressed firmly against a cracked window pane,
Watching her move through the maze of her mind,
Every turn a new fear a new complication, a new blockade,
Making her turn back down the same line of thought,
Over and over again....

They stand there as if merely watching a west end play,
Gaudy billboard sign outside, screaming 'Watch This girl, lost'
'Come buy your tickets, three for a pound'
While onlookers offer polite applause,
Watching as she turns a corner,
Hurdling over doubt just to run into another,
The crowd gasp in surprise as she falls.

Struggling to rise, she regains her feet,
Just to run through her struggle once again,
Only occasionally stopping for a moment of peace,
The silence deafening the crowd,
Seconds of silence, one, two, three,
Until the show finishes with that same applause,
And everyone leaves, and waits, for the re-runs to show again.

I'm abit annoyed for you as this poem is really good but no one else has bothered to comment on a darn good effort. I wish you had more comments as you have created a superb piece of writting.

This is stellar. I'd venture to say one of your very best. Each write you give us shows more depth and growth personally and as a poet. BRAVO!

Excellent write.
Very well-framed. It's the kind of poem that just comes straight and looks you in the eye.
Subtle and yet strong.

You have great talent, looking forward to reading more of your work.

This is a great poem, Phil. I could see the noses on the windowpane, I could watch with their eyes as the girl stumbled and fell, I could feel in my heart a sympathy and an urge to unlock some door and let her out.
Wonderful poem.

Lots of love and peace be with you,

Chelsea

I agree with Tanmaya... subtle, yet strong. I like this, Phil... it's like screaming in whispers. Very powerful, very impactful... and for many, I'm sure, very relatable. I find myself in this in places.

And hon - you must know, I would definitely help you up if you stumbled (assuming of course, that I'm not sitting on the ground next to you at the moment!).

Huggysnoodles!
