Round and round
I run the wheel
Almost as if I were
Mechanical.
I know not
the beginning
and the end
Yet it is too
Familiar.
Each phase passes
accompanied by
a myriad of emotions
and then it repeats itself.
It mocks me
I give it the satisfation.
No more surprises
I anticipate
the coming- the loop.
Numb
I feel no more.
Like mist
it clouds
and evaporates
and clouds
and evaporates.
and until I stop running
and it evaporates for eternity
I will remain
Trapped.
Trapped in this cynical cycle.

mirror
She stares at me,
with eyes that reveal a void
with eyes that speak of pain
the pain of confinement
of being held captive.
A chosen captivity.
Yet that familiarity that holds her
provides a sense of security-
of comfort
though false, very dear to her
should those barriers fall,
should their hinges come loose,
the waves
of freedom,
of vunerability
may sweep
too hard
too fast
too soon
may overwhelm...
and drown her soul.
Yes, she looks at me
and speaks in words I understand
Pressed up against the glass
She looks out
longingly,
with envy,
at the world outside her four familiar walls.
one day she will
break free,
I know it.
With courage
break free.
Then the girl in my mirror
will be no more...
with eyes that reveal a void
with eyes that speak of pain
the pain of confinement
of being held captive.
A chosen captivity.
Yet that familiarity that holds her
provides a sense of security-
of comfort
though false, very dear to her
should those barriers fall,
should their hinges come loose,
the waves

too fast
too soon
may overwhelm...
and drown her soul.
Yes, she looks at me
and speaks in words I understand
Pressed up against the glass

with envy,
at the world outside her four familiar walls.
one day she will
break free,
I know it.
With courage
break free.
Then the girl in my mirror
will be no more...

A big word
Today I learnt a big word that I not only understand but will use quite frequently I believe- at least in this lifetime. Sure I've learnt bigger words in the past such as 'supercallifragillisticexpialidocious' (wth i don;t even know how to spell it!), but I don;t see any relevance or any use of this word whatsoever in my daily life so that defeats the whole point of knowing the word. I cant go around saying..."Hi today is so supercalli...etc." cos i'll just risk sounding like a flaming idiot. aah...u get my drift.
Today's word however...is somewhat useful..and it's so amazingly long..it took me a while to digest it and then pronounce it. I like it!
p-s-e-u-d-o-h-y-p-o-p-i-t-u-i-t-a-r-i-s-m
Ah there we go! What a useful addition to my somewhat limited vocabulary!
To imagine i used to think pterygopalatine and dysdidokokinesia was long. This word is 10 syllables and 21 letters long. What a beauty!
