Back to Sorrow

Member since 2003 · Posted 17 Aug 2003 · 2 comments

Linked into logic- controlled by all that is around me. Trying to break the stronghold- but the clamps hold tight. To struggle is to tangle- to tangle is to tumble- to tumble is to fall. Worried about falling. Will the links always be there? If I fall what will happen? Who will be there with me? Rolling in pain I reach out- Reach out to comfort- Reach out to a friendly hand. All I grab is the links again- Back to sorrow. . .

It is sometimes wrong to climb and then fall.. but it is always a mistake not to attemp one... sometime you fall sometimes not... but there is a third alternative.. 4 for candor
