LonelinessLoneliness is, really, such a sad affair. I feel it in my bones, creeping in, under my skin. I hate the blueness of it. The bluntness of it. Bearing the brunt of a loss must be nearly impossible. I slip into an abyss at a simple separation. I feel I've lost my wits. Loneliness has a virtuous side,...

Home, in a wayIn a way, I'll never go home again. It isn't possible, for my home is where my children live. The bed I share with my husband, the couch where my kitties sleep. Ahh, but the memory of the verdant, hilly landscape alive, with trees and water so cold. My 'home' now lives in a dark place where I never...

ground downI feel ground down, as though my spirit is a thinner version of its former self. The weariness is not sadness. It is different from depression. I still feel happy, optimistic, thankful. It's almost as if the thinness has also made me lighter. Given me flexibility. My soul drifts slowly on the...

FrustrationFrustration is born Aching it lives Unencumbered by happiness In my soul. Frustration is best borne Alone, and in silence, Yet I am surrounded By my unknowing kids. Frustration is difficult To disguise, to ward off. It sneaks into my soul And changes who I am. Sign in to see full entry.posted by Schatz at 2:20 PM Comments (7) (link) Monday, May 24, 2004

My day's been a rough one, but please, don't let me bore you with details.Opinions And Friends The path is so clear, My clouded companions, As we all congregate here. It is easy to criticize The works of another, Easy it is to spin lies. Among us there are those, Destined toward peace, Who write honestly of their woes. Filled with their knowledge, Some come seeking to... Sign in to see full entry.posted by Schatz at 6:53 PM Comments (6) (link) Friday, May 21, 2004
My very first published work, in 1989This poem was written at the age of 13 or 14, and has transformed me from a sad girl to a strong woman, in a matter of a few dozen words. This is when I realized my poetry had the power to change my life. It is, essentially, the moment I was born a writer. It's the earliest work I have. Sweet Child...
