What do you run from?
Heart hidden in the
shadow
of years-
Masquerading
time worn worries
in your bones-
How you feared
they would break
and you would no longer
feel the sun
take the
chill of loneliness
from
your aching arms.
Masquerading does wear thin after a while...if one cannot be who one really is.
ReplyDeleterunning gets quite old as well...and figuring out what you are running from...why you are wearing the masks...what it is you fear, do that and you are half way to an answer
ReplyDeleteI specially like this part:

Lovely writing Lisa ~
Hiding the feeling, truth, run from who you are - hard, takes lots of energy. To ask the question - already the step toward that understanding... ~ thoughtful poem, Lisa.
ReplyDeleteOne certainly is not free from fears of losing or of being deprived! Nice take Lisa!

Sad when we are that lonely Lisa - and sometimes, afraid, we make ourselves so.
