My Own Little World

I never got a chance

To say how much I love you.

It never felt appropriate

To admit this truth.

Fitting my new poems into categories and pages got quite confusing and complicated.... (it doesn't take much!)

So I'm now using a site called Triond which is an online publishing site, where new poems will be added regularly and easier to spot.  Which means you don't have to trawl through all my old ones to get to them...

Just follow this link:

and feel free to leave comments either on this site or Triond.

Thanks

Most of the poems hopefully explain themselves, although I admit that some of them are deliberately vague as to their meaning - they sometimes even have more than one interpretation, but always they are relevant to me.  They are loosely categorised in subjects - loosley because some cover many areas of my life!

Some of the content is sensitive and quite raw - none of it is intended to have any negative influence on the reader, only to perhaps bring comfort that they are not alone in their suffering and loneliness - and maybe comfort that they don't have such morbid thoughts and opressions!? 

Either way, I hope you enjoy your browsing,

Caty

You have no idea

How desperate you get

How close to the edge,

How scared.

You don't have a clue

and I'm glad.

You cannot imagine

How quickly you fall

How sorry you feel,

How angry.

You've never been there

and I'm glad.

You wouldn't believe

How crazy it makes you

How crazy makes you do it,

Or the numbness.

You'll never understand

and I really am glad.

The big wide world is dangerous,

My small, narrow one

Not much less.

But the world within

Has an odd security;

The world without

Was just not made for me.

The real world

Is frightening;

My alternative

Less daunting.

In the world within

I can at least be;

In the other world

There's just no place for me.
