Linda Gibson
frenzied hitting all sides attacked
what you lack never what you are
down despondent miserable picture
reduced demoralized poor emptydays without concern for oneself
nights pay no heeds to cries
neglect full of excuses whyconscious drama let alone to endure
seepage overflows despair
hollow voided echo with only a gesture
resonating deep inside ringing outworthless to save too much energy to kill
leave alone to waste away
avoidance shunned away not seenlonely place no shelter ever found
nothing the way it appears
world still turns seasons repeat endlesslymake believe tell lies quietly say goodbye
spoken easily without a touch
pocket to put all lies into
empty feeling days whirl pastmoon doesn’t shine clouds only pass
heartless cannot pray
dawn rises rain powerful wind
tears stream down or just rainfoolish to want what the devil only knows
can’t get along self-isolated deprivation
people go away when you need it most
