State of Despair

0 posted 2000-08-03 10:33 PM


I look outside my window and all I see is gray
I turn to the mirror and see myself in dismay

This world is too hard to follow or figure out
Sometimes Im happy but mostly Im always in doubt

These mood swings destroy a part of me one at a time
But what am I supposed to do? Im not a mime

I have to unleash all my emotions and give them life
Can't act like Im not what I am thats just false rife

And Im feeling the heat and I cant handle it no more
Sometimes I feel like Im being ripped out from the core

This pain I feel makes me suffocate in my own mistakes
Rub my nose back in my affairs, I dont need high stakes

Dont remind me of my past, its gone and I never won
I wont reminisce or think about what I should have done

I want to erase all of my past and begin a new future
Until then Ill live my life to the fullest and mature

It's fading me away, far away, but Im sketching myself back, line by line, mark by mark.

In a word.  Life.  

You my friend, are trapped in the same dynamic, insane and sometimes plain sick life we all are.  Trust me, the past is best left where it belongs.  Kicking your self now does nothing.  Just make note of it and pray you don’t repeat your mistakes, but if you do…just remember not to be too hard on yourself.  Your only a caged animal, like the rest of us poor fools.

Wonderful poem, I absolutely love it.

"little by little I see you die,
nothing I can do, nothing I can try"

That was what I wrote in one of my poems, life is really mean and ruthless (hope I spelt that right), and it just seems to keep on kicking you down when you think you are up, but like you said, we will sketch ourselves back.

Keep up the good stuff.    

Waves...amazing hey? Wind blowing over smoothe ocean water creates shear. The longer the wind blows, and the futher the fetch, the more energy gets transferred from the wind to the water. What started off as a breeze 1 000km away, ends up as a glass-faced barrel at some far off beach.
