Alone
by Anne Engelen
Diminishing
Alone
In my corner on the floor
The world around mes still asleep
Peaceful
Yet thats just another lie
In a world ready to take its last sigh
No longer I fit in
In this world condemned with sin
Oh, I tried
But hurt my soul
Therefor, no more
I rather diminish
Alone
In my corner on the floor

| Posted by Kate Demeree on 01/09/03 at 01:58 PM Yeah.. I have known this feeling... Big Time. I often wonder how it is we get beyond it, if as you've been advised we simply need to look over our shoulders. *hugs* to you my friend. |
| Posted by Quinn Vokes on 01/09/03 at 10:37 PM amazing poem... but one wonders... how in the heck can you diminish into a corner if the room is round? you'd be searching forever... lol. |

| Posted by Glenn Currier on 08/11/03 at 04:21 AM You bare your soul so honestly it humbles me to think of my image-making. Your poem confronts in stark terms all manner of escapes from the reality of sadness... always just around the corner... Thank you, Anne. You are beautiful. |
