** Mother

- What a somber life. One with no feeling, regard or even good will. Stepping not over the cracks, instead treading upon them; yet left with many gaps that can't be filled. - An empty mind, a careless heart with plaguing feelings of darkness. Certain times, surly of often loneliness, coping in silence as miserys company. - Sleepless nights, thoughtless stares, a walking, empty mass you are in the hours of the sun, with no intentions of ever confessing to your own shortcomings - what a thorn in your side must your own conscience be!

the world of judgment, ah then reality , perspective, empathy, a view from a mind with gaps that just runs on Tar n tears, Feathers fluffed , chicken skin tickle, to hold a mother , even ** Mother is still a wonder.Good job.

Thank you very much. You do obviously understand my whole concept here. To be understood regarding something with such personal meaning, is a wonderful thing. Thank you for your review.

When you've decided to wash soiled hands, you're left with your two always reliable hands. You may not be fully aware at the time they're soiled but when you sit to eat, realization that the importance of cleanliness is just as important as reliability, is bound to sway you into the right direction; the same applies here. I've decided to wash the impurities of my life away. I would've never been able to enjoy my life or the things it has to offer by choosing to allow desolation be the deciding factor of my own self worth and center. Thank you for the review :)
