"Corners..."   10 - 30 - 02



In this corner

Alone and afraid

I'm stuck in this hole

This hell I've made



I tremble in the silence

I think my thoughts aloud

Disgraced in this corner

Away from all the Proud



My face is a torrent

Of emotions and feelings

Questions about the future

Of my soul, its being



My eyes are sheltered

From the truth

By my hair

Unable to break through



My ears are plugged

From the cries

They are buffered

From the thundering skies



In my mind

In these thoughts

I am despairing

Knowing I'm caught



Flashes of light

Glimpses of hope

My eyes remain shut

Not seeking the rope...

Author's Notes/Comments: 

i first grew my hair out so i could have something to hide behind, to conceal the tears and red eyes, especially in school... not many people talked to me before my bro died--i was anitsocial--but after he died i became extremely extroverted and outgoing. but the hair served its purpose then and serves a purpose now - the girls like it :-D yeah :)
