Healing
Finally I feel I'm coming together
no longer affected by the weather
to stand
to think
not run or swim
neither care if fat or thin
judgemental eyes
that see my lies
will look again and realise
the image that they thought
they knew
was merely just a different view.
they may stop
pause and wonder
Read the rest of the poem Show less
but no one now
can steal my thunder.
for I've dug deep
and turfed them out
those feelings I had
of self doubt.
I've buried them
smoothed them over
nursed them
tended
often pretended
but finally I'm feeling mended.

on Silent Movie from @Breakinglogic
"A straightforward but still provoking conclusion. I really like the idea. Don't know how intentional it is but the fragmented lines are snapshot-esque which ties in with the subject of the photos." -

About Me
About me
Sarah's always written
Mainly shopping lists
Wish lists
And to do lists.
She recently took up tap dancing
Even though her years
Are advancing
She likes the idea of
Prancing around the church hall
In a leotard and fishnet tights.
Though she really wears loose fitting trousers and a jumper.
It takes an hour for the heating to work.
Anyways, other than the Tuesday
Her evenings are lost to crochet.
She always has several projects on the go.
Sometimes she even finishes them.
Location: Kent UK, GBR
