The continuum is clear
The beginnings belonging to the same end
There is safety in numbers
But the numbers are never with me
I need a safe dwelling...
Oh, to return to my mothers womb
Where the decisions were all hers
And there were no mistakes to be made
But there is no safe dwelling
No warmth, no heartbeat
No reassuring sounds of life...
My mind won't allow my body freedom
Freedom to run, skip, or dance
I am not immobile
For immobility implies lack of capability
I am FROZEN
The body is strong and capable
But the mind won't break the ice
And set the spirit free
Freedom...that's a word of yesterday
When the mind was willing
And the eye's did sparkle
And desire filled every breath
Yesterday, laughter commanded the voice
Songs owned the tongue
And tears fell when the heart was burdened
Making the load more tolerable
But now the tears refuse to fall
Laughter a mere echoe
And songs a faint memory
The continuum lurks throughout infinity
Searching for the begining of the end

wow, this is suck a deep write, I can really feel the raw emotion behind all the words.
I especailly love the lines
'The beginnings belonging to the same end' --isnt that the truth??
'But now the tears refuse to fall
Laughter a mere echoe' --so true, so depressed there are no more tears to cry.
and also the ending is so powerful. great write.
thanks for entering and goodluck
