I looked around and saw nothing;
Thinking that all too often that was what I saw,
Finding that the emptiness had totally surrounded me
Without relief--without remorse.
Wondering why I had survived this many years without
Something to fill my life, and
make it whole instead of All these gaps.
Looking around to all too many holes of nothing,
Wondering what it would take to fill the holes.
Would it even be worth the effort it would take
To accomplish such a determining emptiness?
Thinking with my last thought why bother, as I
Continue to see nothing just before I venture into sleep . . .
And as my eyes close,
I think tomorrow will be the same.

The Holes Inside Me
WOW. a place to talk about me. well, I am a Wife, Mother and Grandmother, old lady and friend. While at work, Maria Serrato loves calling me Pookie and Short Stuff and the sad things is I think I am starting to answer to those two names. My family is everything to me and I sincerely value the great friends I have in my life. Way too many to mention, but hopefully you all know who you are. I've always wanted a place to leave my words to share with those I care so much about. I have to share, and knowing me can and will most likely and I say this kindly you'll find yourself in my words. Having said that you've all been warned...lol
