BROKEN PIECES OF GLASS
Many times they float around in my head
Feelings of anger, betrayal and hurt
And I mentally hold my tummy
Wanting to retch this despair out
The centre cannot hold
And my head aches
What can I do to get back my groove
What I can feel cannot be expressed as Coherently or as lucid
As the idea of who I am, should be
I claw desperately at words
I think
I crunch, I grind, I break
I think
I knock, I kick, I scratch
I think
I bang, I screech, I arrghhhh
Like broken pieces of glass
Floating in troubled dreams
Are my feelings
Broken pieces of glass I am.[/font]

So good to see you back, Ola. I'll try this as a spoken word piece; however, not sure I can do it justice. The emotion is palpable and the metaphor sharp.

Thank you for the kind comments Ahavati. Oh, I'll love to listen to listen to the spoken word piece.
