anyway

[divagirl]

she slowly crawls into the corner, the deepest corner
as if she is followed
she turns but sees
nothing
(ignoring the lights,
the people)
and continues on her way, forward,
farther and deeper, into the
hole.

There are voices outside. They call
her name
and they dance and encircle her head, swimming
and spinning
melding into a whisper too far away
to hear.

If she were to turn just a bit,
to look back
up
instead of forward
down
she would remember

smiling
feeling
contentment

but she does not turn and in fact
crawls only deeper

Shut out the voices!
Avoid the safety ropes!
if you never make it back up
it's ok

you wanted to be here
anyway

I don't want you hidden in a hole--but I think you knew that already. :shy

I'm here for you whenever you need me.

Just wanted to let you know.

It is a beautiful poem, though, keep expressing yourself :angel

:love you

Nice work Diva!:supergrin

I like the end... "it's ok/you wanted to be here/anyway." To have the one rhyme at the very end makes it seem kind of sing-song, like the voices are taunting her ("You asked for it!" kinda thing). Thanks for sharing that with us!
