Once More...
by camatieI find myself, once more, feeling the darkness creep up behind me. Rearing its ugly head, preparing itself in order to stab me in the back.
This is the first decent sonnet that I have written in a long while [since 2006?] and I’m not sure if this is a good sign or a bad one… You see, I can’t seem to write decent sonnets unless I’m in a mood [A.K.A. depressed] and I haven’t been feeling like myself the last couple of days. I mean, I’m happy, but there’ll be random times where I feel like I’m never going to amount to anything or that I’m going to do something to make someone resent me and I’ve even had times where I’ll think that I’m going to do something to make Jessica break up with me which would break my heart… Just thinking about it hurts me… Anyways, this poem is pretty much how I feel right now, that’s how a lot of my poetry ends up. But I feel like I’m going into a recession and I don’t want that. I don’t want to feel like I did before, I’ve been happy again, I missed it. I don’t want that to happen again. I’m trying to keep my mind from going and coming up with stories that might [more like never will] happen. Everytime I do, I can’t stop so I’m trying to look at the positive things, it’s just sometimes I can’t find it. Yay rant? Once More… © Katie Walker

When will the economy improve?

As the recession of 2009 deepened, I began to see more and more signs of the struggle to survive, such as this home converted to a rooming house.

During my lunch break earlier in the week I saw this sign hanging in the window of a recently closed down Coffee Shop. I couldn’t help but smile at the irony of the sign. However, the number of premises closing down in the High Street since last September has also been very noticeable. The large Morrisons store also in town has a Coffee Shop, Dry Cleaners, Photo Processors, Bakers, Fish mongers, Music & DVD section, computer section, video games section and the list goes on. Local retailers simply cannot compete. (06/08/09)

Jesus says the rain falls on the just and the unjust 8/18/09

I’m trying to access my real relationship with the Almighty. What is it to me? I must write I don’t always pray, and to me it is sin. I don’t always get on my knees and pray. I usually pray in the middle of the night from my bed. I usually cry when the Holy Spirit feels quenched inside me, and I have that aching of emptiness, the crushing loneliness of feeling that God isn’t with me. I feel the guilt of not praying for all of the people that need prayer, the children who suffer from all sorts of things, who I am unable to pray for because of my selfishness and conceitedness. I think only about my problems. I think alot of my failure. I don’t focus on the struggling nation, about my two laid off brothers, one an electrical engineer, the other a finanace manager in the automotive business. He has been out of work for over 6 months since the car industry suffered recession first. My little sister who was recently let go from the zoo. How will she and her husband pay their rent? They are only 24. I think alot about my daughter’s mental illness, about her not going to school, about all the struggles I have trying to get her to school. I think about the scratching she’s done on her flesh. I think about her over-eating, and the weight her medications have caused her. I think about the friendships she doesn’t have, about her obsession with Hogan’s Heroes, and if that is really normal? I think about he Holy martyrs overseas and how I stopped sending money. I think about my bills, the bills I can’t pay. Even though I know the Lord says, “Do not worry about your life.” in the gospel of Matthew. Someitmes I don’t understand it. I want to, but emotionally I can’t. I think about all the injustice in the world. There are so many homeless people, standing on corners asking for money. I feel so horrible I cannot always give them something. I think how Jesus wanted to gather all the people like chicks to his bosom how he wanted to protect them. How we haven’t let him. How I haven’t always let him. I think that life is so fleeting, how we are children one moment and middle-aged the next. How my parents have aged. How my child has aged. I see the wrinkles form around my eyes. How it has become harder to keep my figure trim. How I never found anyone to love me. In the earliest hours or latest hours I ask myself, “What is wrong with me?” Why was I left all the time? What is it about me that is so unlovable? I always tell myself if I were physically beautiful things would have been different. But then I think I probably would have been used more often. So not being beautiful is a blessing. I don’t understand the inequity of people. I’m not thinking monetarily, but metabolism wise, intelligent wise, physically, emotionally, mentally, health wise, and all the things that make us human. Why was my daughter born with bi-polar disorder? God made her that way for a reason I don’t understand. The worst part, the most frustrating part is not knowing why. I always hear, you will know on the other side. You may die not knowing why God has done things the way he has. I hate when children are raped and murdered, everytime I hear that happening a little of me dies with them. I never forget the names of those children. Why do I deserve to live in a flat, why do I deserve a computer, why do I have enough food to eat, why do I still have everyone I love, why do I have an income, why do I have health insurance? I complain, and then I feel unworthy all at the same time. Who knows why anyone has anything? Jesus says, “Rain falls on the just and on the unjust.” Maybe it’s as simple as that?

A 1p piece in the midst of lots of 5p pieces, looking a little out of place. The background is a black leather folder. This is part of what I hope to be a productive series of “coin” shots.
