Everything's so fragile
Something so weak
That it traps my thoughts about yesterday
At the surface, my heart beats like it's supposed to
But underneath, it crushes and burns the others it had before
I don't know what it means to them, or even what it means to me
Yet I do... I do breathe, I do cry and bleed and beg like the rest
Come down easy
On me, you realise
I trap your own thoughts about yesterday
Because it has all changed since the last time the leaves discoloured
Yes I still kick off my shoes at the end of the night, still fall into deep sleep
But I feel like something has been lost at the break of dawn, the break of souls
Following me down a dark path, I breathe... yes I breathe harder than you
Tied to hope
Strung out on faith
Yesterday is released to get on with real life
I keep my head as safely as is humanly possible in this circumstance
Above and below, it's all the same these days, no one can differentiate
I misunderstand the motives and cares, and what it means to those giving
Yet I don't... I don't see, I don't hear or speak the evils gone on this year...
I am fragile
I am so weak
Trapped within the thoughts of yesterday, and yesterday, and yesterday...

Since the leaves changed last year, it has been the worst year I have seen in my family and my circle of friends. It has been the worst for me as a person, an employee, and a woman.

Your heart felt lines hold such strong emotion that I was totally drawn in to what you were saying. This is very touching. Thank you for posting in my contest.

forgive me for capturing and gluing the whole stanza, but I felt really drawn to this, flet like all the rest could fall away, as long as you kept this right here, where it needs to be.
thank you for taking the time to comment, and I wish you the best,
love,

Wow such deep words flowing with feeling. I could feel your emotions like they were screaming out. I love that you get how you feel out with your words. Great work as always SH
