siphoned life

Ms. Wes C.addle

Knuckles are bloody and white
Holding on too strong
Throwing punches at shadows
Its hard to scream while holding your breath
Afraid of your suffocation

Do you see the days
Of fitting splendor
Etching your hollow heart
As the tide pushes and pulls

Faceless people creep the streets
Souls exposed
Sleepless nights that will never be returned
Empty pockets and promises
Knives twisting as your tongue types

Your mind, it roams
Never to the truth
But to a land of endless fairytales
A sea of make-believe

Happiness, Love, Life, Light
You speak of things you do not know
But rather of things you have stole

... but life is and has been collecting
You're just too blind to see.

good stuff here.

Ms. Wes C.addle

Thanks Chad... Just words, inspired by others.

I've been spending my mornings helping at a women's shelter... I've had a loss for words since my first day... The stories, the pain, the search for hope.

Makes me greatful for the relationships in my life..... And my ability to weed out the parasitic ones.

with respect to chadwick, this is great stuff

and now armed with this information
you have been elevated to saint in my eyes

Ms. Wes C.addle

Oh, HELL NO!! Just trying to rack up more karma points this time through.... And see things from other's perspectives.

Plus, I've got the free time...

no matter
free time is a luxury
and you spend your's helping others
"saint" was for impact
but you are definitely
one fine human being

Ms. Wes C.addle

And you are too sweet and ever so kind. Thank you.

Thanks for taking time to share your kind words... Hope your day is beautiful!
