Shake it off

gasping

those days that are covered

in ash and cloud and dust

air that crawls down the throat

like broken glass scratching

tearing

eyes bleeding pink tinged

water from the Id home

scrambling to heal from

the inside out, slowly

barely

then whipcord energy

coursing through every vein

screaming and gnashing teeth

shaking that dust far far

away

SpitfireGrrrl: Beautiful writing. Should have read this yesterday...one of those days, oh yes, one which you've described so well, with such beautiful spectacular imagery. You captured so many feeling and emotions in this writing. It's also uplifting too...Shake it off, great title. Those three words, I will remember and use: Love it. Life's too short for so many ridiculous things. I sometimes just simply pray for peace. So sorry, but didn't understand Id home...Thank you so much. Dale

Thank you so much! I'm glad it resonated with someone else :) Freud broke down personality into Id, Ego, and Super-ego. Id is supposed to be the part of your brain (or personality) that is ruled by instinctual drives, libido and aggression.

I was reading about this recently....I know....but i forget; go to Wikepedia, and like a maze, go from one thing to the next....We learned that in high school, LONGGGGGGG time ago-Tks, I forgot after I read LOL

Gods bless the interwebs :)

Ahhh, I like that....look for something similar in an upcoming poem!

[SpitfireGrrrl]

*o/* I certainly will!

It's not what you think....got so many poems I need to post, but got other things to do also; like correcting many I've already posted. Thanks.

[SpitfireGrrrl]

Lol, I was excited about seeing it :) I wish I had a bit of a backlog - I haven't been writing much unfortunately. I will use you for some inspiration to get that done.

OMG: Got a box of poetry I need to refine...forget about it...may die first. Never told me what Id meant...;D

[SpitfireGrrrl]

Ah hahah - I used Id home because it sounded better than lizard-brain in my head ;)
