my own little world

0 posted 2005-01-25 10:59 PM



The sound of pulsating agony
the stains of mind grappling hate
fear
the stench
it's over
and left with a mess of pain.

tangled twisted ball of wire,
can you scratch your way,
bleed your way to comfort?

spell these letters once more
superficial drama
and you've got a well blended
cold brew of inebriation
absent of a previous bottle.

not the side effect of usual stupidity,
but a mind over hung on the past,
a future absent of present.

singled out one by one,
you all nod your heads,
close your eyes,
and wish that upon opening
you do not see the world for what it really is -
drunk with ignorance.

How can I stand here and not be moved by you? - Lifehouse

just something i've learned, the word "bleed" doesn't really cut it for poems anymore

i hope jesus makes you better

p.s. there was some originality in this, try to really bring your figurative language abilities to the surface next time

so what's it going to be then, eh?
