I can feel the earth shake
And groan beneath me
As crumb by crumb
My world falls apart
At my feet
A fire ravages my mind
Incinerating every thought
Every memory that dares
Flutter by
I try to put the fire out
But it only grows stronger
With my weak attempts
I struggle in vain
The flames burn deep
With hatred and vengance
Unimaginable, uncontorllable
Burning until all that remains
Are charred bits of my soul
Tears burn a familiar trail
Down my face
I stare at the ashes wondering
Why I even bother to try
And my life goes up in smoke
Surely someone must have
Felt the intense heat
Heard my world crashing
To the ground
I look around
Everyone is oblivious
Their own worlds still spinning
Neatly on it's axis
And I wonder...
Should I shift through the ashes
Try to put the pieces
Back togather again
Would anyone even care
Or notice
Why do I even bother
Knowing all it takes
Is one little spark
The wind of confusion
And the fire is
Crackling and blazing
Again

wow!  the imagery you use is fantastic and gripping!  i know the feeling, too.  how you seem to go unnoticed and everyone else's lives seem to be perfect.  it's good to know that no one is perfect though sometimes it's hard to convince the heart of what the mind knows as truth... wonderful piece.  )

This was wonderful Starr...a very beautiful poem from the very beginning to the very end. I know exactly what you mean by this poem...because I have thought like this before more often than I can remember. But someone will always notice...it just takes a very strong and special person to act. Real people like you are a rare breed...so keep up the fight...you're needed in this world.

               Yours truly,

humming madly
filling my head

I'll be here...why? I'll
be waiting...for what?
'll be waiting for you
so...if you come here,

I promise.
