Alaeha Posted April 18, 2003 Report Posted April 18, 2003 I wrote this today at school, for an assignment that's due in about a month... A project. I'm posting it here because it wound up coming out reasonably well, so I might as well let others read it... Ever wished you could just make everything alright? (Silly question, I know...) Restrained Healer Tonight there is a turmoil in my soul that cannot be explained to one who lacks the proper understanding of my role in life. Today, I fear, I’ve reached my max. I try to heal the hearts of those with whom I feel a bond, be it strong, odd, or weak. But not all can be fixed, and dangers loom just out of reach. I see but cannot speak. A healer and protector I may be, but not all pain can be diverted. Yet I pray that through these hardships they will see that I am here to be a safety net. Into each life a little rain must fall; but it will pass, don’t be afraid. Stand tall.
Ayshela Posted April 18, 2003 Report Posted April 18, 2003 (nod) i've wished i could make everything alright for most of my life, and spent almost all of that time failing at the impossible task. You capture quite well the pain and frustration of being unable to do what you wish so much to, mingled with hope that people will *see* that you're there to help.
Peredhil Posted April 18, 2003 Report Posted April 18, 2003 Yeah... It's a strange balancing act, being empathetic and understanding enough to try to make a difference, but being detached enough to recognize and allow the other their Free Will. well done.
reverie Posted April 18, 2003 Report Posted April 18, 2003 having a bit of trouble figuring out who you're speaking too... last concluding couplet seems reflective though, like a pep talk to yourself... for all the trails and whatnot... revery the dreamlost "keep on keeping on..." (don't know) the dream continues...
