Linking up with Lisa-Jo Baker for Five Minute Friday. A place where we come together and write for five minutes, blurting our unedited words and then linking up.
Release
Deep red crescents score the palms of her hands
The panic she feels behind gritty too tired eyes mounting
There is too much and not enough
She feels too much and not enough
Her weakness is hanging out like an untucked shirt
Weary she drags herself into another day
The blinking cursor mocking her sluggish brain
One word, then another
Pulled from the depths of her soul
They begin to spill faster
Followed by tears slipping down her cheeks
This is her release
Where her heart breathes and freedom is born
Thank you Denise.
ReplyDeleteTerrific imagery. I love the line " Her weakness is hanging out like an untucked shirt." Great simile. (The English teacher in me appreciates your talent.)
ReplyDeleteAnd a wonderful message too.
oh Beth, thank you for the encouragement and for stopping over to visit here with me.
DeleteYes. Clearly you have been given the talent of writing - but also of honesty. I am grateful for both. Thanks for sharing. Coming from FMF - on Monday!
ReplyDeleteKelli, thank you. And I'm glad you didn't let the fact that it was Monday stop you from participating in FMF.
