Alone
Alone
I feel so very alone, my
body needs support , love and rejuvenation but I am squeezed of it all- not in a malicious way; nevertheless I am brittle, tired, crumbling yet must keep a strong face of happiness and strength for the young at heart.
All of it hanging becoming weaker by the minute- although nobody can know because I am the center and understood as the most resilient.-
keep your role. Don’t change paths now.
Should I complain or ask for help I will stretch the hanging ,
crumbling , almost powdered charade further. It will all collapse. I lay my head down for relief, stop the spinning. Never have I had the feeling of strong roots that waiver but never break....the stillness that cannot be stolen, the peace that is portable. I close my eyes and listen to the wind....I am one single root to weak to seek shelter, burrow. The wind growls and circles around me as if I were anticipated prey. I feel so very alone.
~ Amy Melissa Vitaterna
