I wrote this about a friend who is in a lot of pain. I saw these clouds today and thought of how the darker translucent clouds were like the pain being caused and the brighter pink clouds were those of the friends lifting away the pain. I scream. I scream. I scream. You do not hear me. I whisper. I whisper. I whisper. You do not hear me. We are the same, yet not alike. Once we loved each other. Now we..... *sigh*The pain pulls my soul from me. My eyes bleed. My tongue is swollen. The valves of my heart are dry. Your talons rip at my heels. Pulling me down. Pulling me low to the ground. The sky is darkwith your hate. Yet I can gander a light above. I lay wasted upon the floor. No longer able tolive this life. I have fought for you. I gave youall I had to give. And you took it all. You took everything I had to give. And then you took even more. I scream. I scream. I scream. You do not hear me for your ears are closedYou do not see me for your eyes are opaque. You do not love me for your heart is frozen. I scream. I scream. I scream. I give up. I will not fight you, my demon any more. You have won. I lay wasted upon the floor. Quiet overtakes me. Peaceful, blissful quiet. Yes, I am done. Take me now. Wait! We are here! Do you hear us? We who are not of your blood, but who are yourfamily call to you. We are here! Do you hear us? A buzzing enters my mind. What? Who is that?We are your family. We are here for you. To care for you. To foster your heart. To bolster your soul. To lift you up above the pain. To lift you up to the clouds. What? I no not of what you offer. My mind is a haze of pain and disappointment. I can not hear you. I am done with the pain. Stand up Warrior. Stand up now! You are not done. But just begun. Pick up your mighty staff. Step up to us. We are here for you. We will lift you up. You must take the first step into the light. Stand up Warrior. Stand up now! You are not alone. There is much to be done. There is work to do. Pick up your mighty staff. Look up. See the light. We are here for you. But you must be here for yourself. I scream. I scream. I scream. And someone heard....
