Why do I cry?
Why do these tears fall?
That blind my eyes from seeing
I scarcely can remember when my
tears didn't fall.

Why do I feel depressed?
Without life's dress?
I wish I knew
but this is me
and you are you.

Why am I bleak
and seem to seek
for more to come
Are does it follow me
in my destinies?

Have you ever felt
that you could not
change your ways
Yet you look into the haze
wanting nothing better than to
step out?

Are we are own worst phantoms?
Do we look for all the gastly ghouls?
Sometimes I seek to find relief
from this sinister reflection
but seems there is perfection
in this darkness behind this wall
Am I alone in my apparitions?
Do you think anyone cares to listen?

So we seek we shall find
the knocking on the door
open it and do come in.
To a world that has not formed
and voidness seems to swallow
you whole.

This I SAY with no surprise
this is what the anger hides
so open your ears
but most of all
open your minds
and stay clear
of all the
apparitions in this room
They seek to devour your minds.


I chose Incongruous as my title because that's the way I was feeling when I wrote it.
Definition: inconsistent, contrary, incompatible,
irreconcilable,contradictory, unsteady,wavering, paradoxical, vacillating, discrepant, and last but not least illogical ( now this is me for sure)

"are we our own worst phantoms?"
this was a great twist on an old cliche. this was a nice read.
