the leaves did not russle
no birds did sing.
the day We became I.
Isolated from all around me
My thoughts paralyzed by grief
my hand cluthced you so tightly
my muscles locked the grip.
I saw you slip away


Self-PreservationI want it over now, because it has to end. I have no more strength to fight it, I know I can not win.Self-Preservation
My days are now so fearful, My nights so full of tears. I just don't understand why I tried so all these years.
The battle was lost before I knew there was a fight. This evil lay in wait for me
before I was conceived.
I am sorry to disappoint all who thought me strong. But I am exhausted, This battle can't be won.
I am looking for a place to stuff all these fears. I did it once before
Your Missouri-tagged poetry led me to your site.
I'm trying to get the word out to Missouri Deviants about a little festival I'm producing in early May.

Please send this to any Missouri area writers you may know who would be interested.
Thanks!

I guess it just goes to prove I am not as alone and invisible as I feel.
