The darkness swirls around me. Hands stretch toward me, I'm alone. Some hands say help others say harm. Others still say nothing at all. Go away hands of helping hands; I can do it myself. Go away hands of harm; I don't need you pushing me down. Blinded by the darkness I reach for the hands that say nothing. "Stupid girl" they hiss. I've made the wrong choice. The hands that were unnamed hurt more than any. They surround me sucking all of my life and energy away. Finally, I'm left empty, confused, stripped of all emotion. Oh helping hands I do need you! Come back, come back!!! Is my pleading in vain? I may never know. Written December 11th, 2001 © on Dec 11 2001 04:04 AM PST   0 • 1
