= This is How I Feel =

[Christy]

Did you ever read a poem, a book, or lyrics, and say to yourself, "Oh MY GOSH! That's exactly how I feel!"?

Well, I came across this excerpt from one of Mark Twain's works a few years back and I was in shock because "my feelings" were actually put into words. I was shocked to know he felt the same feelings.


BEWARE -- IT'S A DARK PIECE OF LITERATURE!

Letters from Earth -- Letter X
By Mark Twain

Life was not a valuable gift, but death was. Life was a fever-dream
made up of joys embittered by sorrows, pleasure poisoned by pain,
a dream that was a nightmare-confusion of spasmodic and fleeting
delights, ecstasies, exultations, happinesses, interspersed with
long-drawn miseries, griefs, perils, horrors, disappointments,
defeats, humiliations, and despairs -- the heaviest curse devisable by
divine ingenuity; but death was sweet, death was gentle, death was
kind; death healed the bruised spirit and the broken heart, and gave
them rest and forgetfulness; death was man's best friend; when man
could endure life no longer, death came and set him free.

Flower in the crannied wall,
I pluck you out of the crannies,
I hold you here, root and all, in my hand,
Little Flower-but if I could understand
What you are, root and all, and all in all,
I should know what God and man is.

these words probably help describe my feelings when I read this post...I am not sure of what your feelings were at the time; however, cheer up...life isn't that bad. And when you are at the bottom the only direction you can go is up. :)


~I know you're out there. I can feel you now. I know that you're afraid... afraid of us. You're afraid of change. I don't know the future. I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end. I came here to tell how it's going to begin.~

I hate all poetry, unless its dirty and funny, and thus inevitably trivial and meaningless.
