BLUE ROOM ~ RED HAIR’ Canvas Print by Tammera |
______________
I open my eyes and look
At that point in space
Without a trail
Talking to myself
With great expectation
Avoiding feeling down
Feeling poor
Struggling not to revive
The old dispute
With greater justifications
For the fire of anger
And the ashes it left
So well I know where it led
.
Hard to swallow
Aiming at specific measures
So as to balance depression
Accepting those facts
Will never change
No matter how deep the dream
Striving not to add more burdens
On my weak back
Trying to understand
It’s all about not feeling obliged
To be or behave
This or the other way
.
.
Instead...
Sweetly let
Sweetly let
That part of me
Fade away.

such beautiful flowing words, dulce, bringing a message for us all - and i love your new look over here, by the way! wonderful!!!
Introspection at its best. Nice work!
read it several times - you expressed a lot of feelings with this..deep and heartfelt..
nice...living under the weight of others expectations can be tough...sometimes our own are the hardest....
Girl in Blue Room staring at point in space? No way to travel there, except how I go there. And when I do that is called day dreaming

Beauty tinged with sadness Dulce. Very meaningful and touched me deeply. Thank you for sharing!
Sounds like walking on egg shells...it is hard to balance and somehow, someday one gets cracked....bkm
Smile-inducing, life-smart work.
There is balance isn't there my dear?
a heart felt piece with alot of feeling
let that part fade away (sad to contemplate)
thanks for the One Shot
Moonie hugs
This really touches close to home. Beautiful
Think you got me on this one. Can relate to most of it like a punch to the gut, until reading hope at the poem's resolution. Inspiring.
I know what you are saying.
Have you seen the picture with molecals, or atoms, all conjoined by stems! A lot of work to do that! Planets can conjoin, just like our moon is near our world, imagine a tunnel leading to it, deeply rooted! And a metal bubble surrounding us all! With explosive measures in outer place!
You know, rounding things off, I believe existence to be a hundred billion years. I am just probing around with possibilities! Much to do. But hey, it's not all work, there's rest and play, in equal measures!
Sorry to go on about nothing in particular, but I lose my mind sometimes! HA.
A lovely poem to ponder.
THANK YA. LOVE LOVE LOVE, ANDOO. SKY.
Take wonderful and gentle care.
Sent a bathful into the sea, which made the process much easier, and time was of the essence!

I like that that the author ended wisely.
but those first three lines would have made a splendid poem on their own. Maybe that's where poems should end, just a look into the vast where no trail can be found.

The conversation with one’s self in this is great. I love the imagery.
I spent 15 years of my married life trying to be what was expected of me. It wore me out and now I am out of the marriage. It's not a way to live. This is a great One Shot.
This one touched a chord.Reflections of my deepest feelings ,too.
Thanks for sharing this ,Dulce.Felt every word as if it was my own.
Heartbreaking poem....but there is such a level of reality for all of us....the end stanza is one of resolve and hope...and healing.
I loved this poem. Rang deep.
Thank you~! I need to read this again...and again.

Very REAL here Dulce...
This poem really speaks out about the struggle within; the balance of depression, the burdens, real or supposed ... and the yearning at the end.
I battled depression for twenty years ... but in the end, I arrived at the last verse of your poem ... oh such release to arrive there - to be troubled no more.
You have used the words brilliantly to reach out and encapsulate the moment.
It is so hard, so hard to walk away and not let the anger take over or the memories of hurt guide us, depress us. It is hard not to allow that which control us back.
Dear Dulce
Very beautiful.. I enjoyed it so much...
Thanks for sharing...
