Beyond The Shadows ( 1 )

Beyond the shadows,

is a girl.

A girl so confused,

so tattered, torn and worn,

she’s ready to just leave it all behind,

and walk with God,

on the sandy beaches of Heaven.

She feels she belongs there.

And no one sees her,

because she is too far,

beyond the shadows.

WORK ON THIS

You have my email address here. Write to me and I'll answer. If you need someone to talk to, I'll listen. Go to my site and see that I am human and have fallen on my face many times. YOu're too young and talented to quit on life. Maybe you're just getting it out of your system by writing about it?? I do that. When something hurts so much I can hardly stand it, I write it out. It helps. My son is on drugs and in jail at the present. I feel like curling up in a ball and crying until I pass out sometimes, but life goes on and writing about it helps. Let me hear from you, Sweetie. I really like your work. Apparently you haven't told a whole lot of people that you're writing since there are no critiques that I've seen yet. That's the way I started too. Then people started dropping by and before I knew it, I had made postpoems' friends. You're good. You know that.
