Poem: Sitting alone in front of the bathroom mirror
An expression of fear - sorrow and trivial bits
of remorse for those around me
No one is around me.
In fact I''m not crazy.
My soul and mind at every turn yearns for something - An answer ? A solution? God?
I slice the expression of fear that never leave me - because people who don''t understand fear
see it only as an expression of an accident
when in reality there are coincidences
few and far between statistically.
Relief is what I felt
the initial pain offset by warm blood
slowly oozing down my face
caressing me -rejuvenating my relief oddly
a minor river bringing sustenance
to the community downstream.
FREEDOM - as I was free
as we are really free
because we have no words to describe UNFREEDOM....
