...Madness!



picture credit: http://www.deviantart.com/art/Restless-81512748

 
Restless creeps through my bones with stealth and sharp nails, rippling a path of discomfort I rub off on you, and my jaw is clenched, my muscles keep flexing, I pace through the house with an edge that pushes you away and I can retreat into my inner silence that will give me room to breathe...

    You have captured madness perfectly here Shadow. Amazing as always.

    does it really give room to breathe...retreating inside...
    or is it a false feeling....there is a time for solitude...
    as long as it doesnt spill over to alone...

    That poor eye . . . .

    Madness is a terrifying thing . . . . . I think it better to think positive but not always easy to do . . .

    In chaos the inner silence is all we have.

    Even with their similarities, there IS a difference between
    Solitude, Loneliness, and Isolation. That THIRD one is
    SO common with US kind of Peeps.
    Beware, or better...BE AWARE :-)

    On days when I find myself oozing with anger or fear, I too must enter deeper into my own sacred inner world… there I am protected and so are the ones I love. This is how I understand your poem. Not a retreat into loneliness, but a place of safety.

    Be assured that I know the feeling all too painfully well, and you did a masterful job of describing when a wave of madness (in every sense of the word) washes over a person from time to time. Thankfully, my episodes do not last as long as they used to, but I could sure do without them completely.
