I walk blades of glass
trying not to bleed
I walk gingerly
one day to the next
it tears at me
the line I tread
between what’s real
what’s not
screams as I am
on my knees
I cannot find my way
to help those who I love
to those who are in pain
together we walk
gingerly
‘cross glass blades

Ramblings From A Mum 
You capture your present very well Jenny. Powerful piece. Well done.
Thank you Michael.
I like it, a job well done! I think you have a wonderful talent, Jenny. Some of your stuff is deep and seated at the same time and that is why I like it.
Thank you gpoppy. I write of what I am going through, or feel. The last two today … Well not an easy day. I am glad that they resonate with you and I thank you for your gracious comment.
Very hard hitting that one, J. Very good too.
Thank you R, yes what prompted it, was also.
I like it! It’s deep and written with the right words ,) Good job .
Thank you Tina ~ I write out my emotions, sometimes they are stronger than others, appreciate your kindness.
Jen this is very emotional. It ‘feels’ very emotional. You write so beautifully about so many different emotions.
I seem to want to write when I am very emotional.. to release. This was straight after an incident that I’m struggling with right now. Thank you Colleen.
I hope your writing helps you through your struggles Jen. I hope you are well.
I am okay..it’s just the situation, we are going through..my daughter and I ..I don’t know what I’d do without writing, I honestly don’t, thank you.
Then I hope you keep writing. Blessings.
Thank you Colleen. x
You Do put your feelings on the page in an extraordinary way. Hope a resolution is close at hand.
Thank you Tess, it’s going to be a long road. She is obtaining help, but the course is 12 months.. So I can only hope she gains the skills she needs to get her through her life. Hugs x
🙂 🙂 🙂
i am sorry this is still causing pain and has not come to peace yet. hugs )
Unfortunately yes Beth, there is no easy answer, just go through the process and the course and hope there is a light that shines at the end of this journey. It was a bad day yesterday. Hugs xx
The process is lengthy and even after a year.. there is more. Show love as I know you do and try to understand, this is the hard part and the terribly frustrating part.
super big hugs
Oh, Jen- this pulls at my heart strings. It will get better.
I can only hope Beck… Hold those thoughts for me. Thank you xxx
Thanks for writing this post, it describes how I have felt for most of my life. It is amazing to see it written down so accurately by someone else. I do hope you do not suffer these feelings too often. Hugs yo you. xxxx
I am glad that I was able to write a piece that you could relate too. I experience these feelings quite a bit, some days as we know worse than others. Hugs to you and hope you see brighter days xxx
Thanks and I do hope you too have more brighter and less fraught ones ahead of you. Good luck, which you won’t need, if you have any services you might have today. xxx
Thank you, here’s to both of us then. I’m just writing a chat post as had a service this afternoon.. You must be mind reading… hugs xxx
Cutting words. Sharp like blades and truthful like life. I adore how you write, my dear x
Aww you make me blush with your words ~ you’re an Angel, thank you x
In my thoughts, Jen. Both you and your daughter. The tightrope or the razor blades are always so difficult to navigate. Thank god for patience and love. A very emotive piece that speaks to all who have ever walked that road. x
Thank you darling, and appreciate your thoughts, we are in a cycle it seems, every two weeks a meltdown occurs.. It’s a rope and a juggling act trying to pick the signs… 😦 xx
All you can do is persevere. So difficult. But your love and support will be rewarded in her healing. If you saw or heard some of the things I have this week you would never doubt how valuable – beyond measure – is the love you provide. I suppose we imagine that there will come a time when they can totally go it on their own. One of the worst and maybe best parts of parenting must be that we’re always called upon to be there and the worry never ends. How I wish parenting came with a manual. I would have given it out umpteen times this week. But nothing replaces natural love. And yours is evident in the words of your post. Hang on in there for better days. My thoughts are with you. And don’t forget how awesome you are! x
You know, we start a blog and we meet people and some are there..just because..and some are there that get who you are and what you are going through, you are one of those people and I thank you for being so. I do hang out for better days, more for my daughter who has lost her way tha. I who cannot find her to bring her back…thank you precious. Hugs xx
the most emotive line for me is not being able to find those that you love…
def the pain comes through…
Thank you B losing my way trying to find her, hurts the most…
I have to say that reading this really got to me. So sorry, Jen. *Hugs*
it’s a tough road…and will be for a while .. but hopefully we will get there…thank you Angel xx
Oh! A tender write… and the hurt and pain are felt in your words.
I sincerely wish that things get better for you. Take care.
Thank you anmol. It is a tough right now and will be for some time… But I hope it will have an ending soon.
I walk blades of glass
trying not to bleed
I walk gingerly
one day to the next
there is wisdom born of profound experience in this passage Jen,
i relate to this all too well. i hope things resolve themselves.
Thank you my friend,it’s a rocky road at present and will be for some time, but I can only send thoughts to the universe that it all ends well…
