Truth

                        Truth

  Creeping silently within the shadows
      Afraid of what I might find
         Yet unable to turn back
           Seeking out the truth
             Knowing it is within
               Wishing it wasn't
                        You.

Some of

my best writing has come when I am at the bottom, when I am in the darkest abyss, brings forth great imagery; trick is to guage how far one actually delves. I really feel this piece of fine writing - and look this is my second post here! Love, Light and Laughter to All Beings Namaste, Lenny

Hi Alone, Thanks for the read and for your take on this. If I told you what inspired this, you'd probably be surprised just how close you were to the truth. Not something I'm comfortable in explaining though. Thanks for your response. Sue

..really?! but I won't ask what it is (not just yet) since your not comfortable about it.. hope writing it down releases the emotion (of hate / sadness perhaps?).. sorry for the late reply.. ;)
