One Week
by miriclaire
Being young and on your own -- some days are just plain bad.

I know hunger.

Not famine.

But four days with cheese and one soggy meat pie.

I know sadness.

And sorrow.

The kind that makes you sick and fat.

And broken hearts.

And death.

I know fear.

And there were two more days that week...

I'm not sure what I learned, if anything at all

In my giddy state filled with wine and pills to keep the pain away.

I know missing home.

I am beginning to feel sad. The pain is clear. The drug use says a lot about how many choose to mask their pain.

hi miri... you have a true gift of manipulating words to your advantage and once again you have shown that artistic ability. Keep on writing and posting and thanks for sharing. Aphrodite

If the purpose of writing has ever been to convey emotion, this fulfills its promise. Someone once said 'Writing is of infinitely more benefit to the writer than the reader.' Keep writing with that in mind and I believe you'll find your readers will disagree with that statement and feel they've been the ones to benefit.

Indeed it gets the message across, it reminded me of earlier hard times. But that's what we all need in order to build character. Keep writing.
