Why eat anyhow?
Emptiness turns to numb
Thoughts blur away

Why feel anyhow?
I can hide it all
Starve myself away

Why care anyhow?
Nothing left to feel
Nothing more to say

Nothing more to say

This piece was so sad and honest..
I must admitt, forgive my ignorance but I find it so hard to believe that a person who's soul is obviously so beautiful can still feel so dark and alone.

Thank You for sharing with me and teaching me

Peace & Love,

I am a spoken word artist from Philadelphia. Because I am so tired and bored with the usual topics that the artist in this area covers. ( Erotic, politics, spiritual etc. ) I wanted to venture out into some unknown territories within poetry. I find your pieces to incredibly fascinating because of the strange amalgamation of beauty and sadness. The honesty in which you write about is refreshing and eye opening.

I worked for years in the Renfrew Center ( you might have heard of this institution) and I seen thousands of ladies suffering at the hands of disease. So not only do I sympathise with the writers in this forum, but on some minute level I can empathise as well.

Thank you for sharing, touching me, and teaching me.
