FEAR

Thursday Thoughts

I am scared of going back

To that grey room

Where everything tastes stale

And the color has drained from my face.

Confined in a space

Where I am no longer myself

And where being unbroken

Is akin to befriending a stranger

Stunning message in so few words! I love the way every line is stated in an original way, yet the message overall is very relatable. The last four lines are especially thought-provoking . . . could conjure up many scenarios for different readers. It reminds me of how distancing it was, way back when I was a perfectionist. Being free to embrace our flaws (we all have 'em) is the opposite of being in a stale box (((HUGS))) fondly, Margie

Thank you, and you are right about embracing flaws!

Grammar is fine. Favorite line is "And where being unbroken is akin to befriending a stranger." You did in portraying your emotion in this piece, well-done :)

*you did good* meant to say.
