Trapped in the alley ways of yesterday-- <br />Sheets of fog cover up my flaws... <br />Protected by the Winter of Cold Indifference-- <br />Where doubt and fear once bore their ugly claws; <br /> <br />In a labyrinth of charcoal grey conundrums... <br />I breathe in my past once and again--- <br />Wondering where my truth has run off to... <br />Fleeing all the way- back to then; <br /> <br />'Neath a canopy of: 'Might Have Beens'... <br />Not pursuing them to the end--- <br />Anxiety obliterates all of my coverings... <br />Totally disabled my ability to mend; <br /> <br /> <br />Underneath The Umbrellla <br />September,2010 <br /> <br />Dedicated to: Joy L. Cartwright <br />Born: May 26,1978 <br />We are not related or even friends <br />So i need to know what the problem <br />Is.<br /><br />Theodora (Theo) Onken<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/yesterday-and-today-12/
