Hi guys........after my rant just now I thought I would post a new piece of work.......I hope as always it moves or touchs someone in some way......

OPEN

DO our eyes not reflect a torured spirit
we live in this world yet it is not your world
we live so close around you yet you do not know us
our eyes full of darkness, full of lonliness
why must you turn a blind eye to us
as if to say we are not here

We seek no pity, only tolereance and understanding
we wish to rid you of your blissfull ignorance
we scream at you from our madness
such a futile attempt it is
you turn a deaf ear to our cries
as if to say our cries do not matter

So many of us alone,only each other to hold on to
there are those that say "we are here for you"
may as well be a drop of water on the raging fires of hell
we are capapble of friendships and love
we have desire for some normalcy in life
yet you turn an indifferent spirit to our lonliness

Open your eyes, so that you may see the beauty of being different, open your mind so you may learn, your spirit so that another may move and touch yours, know someone different, love someone different...
