-=I found this in an old notebook. I checked to see if I posted it already, and i coulnt find it..so here it is  


-=-=Day by Day=-=-

Pulling from every direction
never showing relief
Clawing at my imperfections
ruining my self-belief

Lazily knocking me down
sick games take heed
Trying to keep my head up
in this sea of greed

Blinded by misery
in this self-absorbed world
Fighting the past
yet struggling forward

As nightfall tires my weary eyes
my mind's finally at ease
'Till morning sheds her light
dangling life in front of me

Hi DQ  

AWESOME ending, absolutely fabulous... I loved it. The poem was incredible, a definite library piece...Perhaps I liked it so much cause I connected with it?...Who knows.  
Glad you found the write though, I would have hated to have had to miss this.
Thanks for the read! You did a great job on expressing yourself at the time.

Wow!  I like this very much!  You spat upon the state of the planet in a way that few know how to do.  I absolutely adore poetry that tells the world "I am sick of you, you're a waste of my time."  Especially the last line.
I'm very impressed and will keep both eyes open for your name in here again.

Ahh Kiley, one of your brilliant pieces! Thank heavens you found this. It wouldn't have been nice to deprive us of this poem.  

I love it! Well done and I hope to see many more from you.
