Ssssh, there's someone speaking

A holiday can help me leave this horrid life behind

but I can’t escape from my turbulent mind.

I feel the only way is to die inside so I can rise like the

Phoenix at the crack of dawn.

Or I could simply sit in absolute silence and go deeper

and deeper

and deeper

till I hear my inner voice

and find my true self.

Not about the length but it's the quality. Small but terrible poem. xx

I certainly need that aerial therapy mate. Perhaps I should have a word with Richard 'The Virgin' Branson. He likes that sort of thing?

you really need that balloon trip mate - but failing that I think you have a good solution in the last five lines. Col
