bump in the road

at age four...she lost an eye
but not a single person cried
save for her for she's alone
inside her head which is her home
all around her world is crazed
supposed persons are a maze
how may she take one step ahead?
with reaction to her filled of dread
just a dark spot in their life
her existence gives them strife
every act of her's forlorn
how they wish that she weren't born
she stopped living there today
yet she hadn't gone away
searching for a place to hide
she just locked herself inside
now she's what they've always dreamed
never heard, so never seen
they're so happy she's withdrawn
can stop pretending that she's gone

hedi, this write is more than a bump in the road, poetically, philosophically, metaphorically, and any other cally you can tag to it. that's why yer "the dude"...well ok, Jeff Bridges is "The Dude", but yer The Dude from W.VA. ;-)

Hi hedi

All the previous comments are superb, I can't really add to their reponses. Quite simply... a very powerful write.

Best wishes
