Feb 2013
She felt ever so lost in a sea of silence
She thought of something to say
but someone whispered don't speak

She tried and tried to ignore this hurricane
Hurricane of emotion that took her forΒ Β a spin
Making her so dizzy and disoriented and exhausted

She wanted to believe she was invisible that no one could see her
She had magical powers to disappear to slip away quickly
On the conflicting side she wanted someone to figure out this magic trick
Figure out it's secrets it withheld

A hand to reach out and understand
To tell her shes not alone
But she felt so shameful

She held out a shield in front of her
Wanted no part in this
She came to a point where all she felt was nothingness

She picked and prodded at her skin, saw the blood seeping slowly out of the wound
I am Alive! I feel so Alive!

For only a moment the clouds rolled on and the rain quit falling.
And then they returned with a vengeance
