Plummeting the Abyss
by Donna Rose Stewart

Saturday 22 January 2005

Our intentions are good
We start off fine
A conversation
Sharing
BLAM
We're arguing
Over what?
Nothing.
What happened?
Intense feelings
Of hurt
Reduced Self-Esteem
Feeling Bad
Feeling Shame
Embarrassment
At bad feelings.
Sharp, angry words
Sting and Cut
And still
Our intentions are good.

Instead of our best
Out comes the worst

Peace is gone
Replaced with
Friction
Resistance
Defensiveness . . .

What's the answer?
What's the question?
What's it about?
