however brief the moment
it can last a lifetime
if you only let it shine
in hope..i can dream
and pretend everythings mine
skip stones in the water
forget who i am..and get lost
in the tides of time..
with the silence of many
their beacon..their burden
leaving me
to immerse myself in plenty..of pity

i can identify with the situation here, while wallowing in my own self-pity, i have accomplished very little, but have written some pretty cool poems!i like your poem.

this is a great piece...
i just hope you don't feel in which the poem conveys.
i haven't read one of your pieces in a while...forgot how good they are
great posting once again

looking forward to your next masterpiece

 i never thought i'd die alone, i laughed the loudest who'd have known?
i traced the cord back to the wall, no wonder it was never plugged in at all
i took my time, i hurried up
the choice was mine i didn't think enough
I'm too depressed to go on, you'll be sorry when i'm gone
I never conquered, rarely came
16 just held such better days
Days when i still felt alive, we couldn't wait to get outside
The world was wide, too late to try
The tour was over i'd survived
I couldn't wait till i got home, to pass the time in my room alone
I never thought i'd die alone, another six months I'll be unknown
Give all my things to my friends, you'll never set foot in my room again
You'll close it off, board it up
Remember the time i spilled the cup
Of apple juice in the hall, please tell mum this is not her fault
I never conquered, rarely came
But tomorrow holds such better days
Days when i can still feel alive, when i can't wait to get outside
The world was wide, the time goes by
The tour is over, i've survived
I can't wait till i get home, to pass the time in my room alone
