I feel like I’ve lost my grip
Everything I have held so dear has begun to slip
I’m on the outside, looking in
At my world crumbling around me, why’d I let this begin
I skipped on church and forgot to pray
Didn’t plan ahead, living life day to day
Lost all my money and almost my girlfriend
Don’t know how it started, but can’t wait for it to end
These past few weeks have been a daze
My whole holiday season has been in a haze
All of the truth I have hidden with lies
Life wasn’t normal it was another disguise
Seeing myself through another’s eyes
What I have become is what I despise
I want to apologize to the people I’ve burned
It won’t happen again, the lesson’s been learned
It was fun for awhile, till I realized what I was doing
It was fun for awhile, till I realized the people I was screwing
My family, my friends, my girlfriend, ME
Gonna reopen my eyes cause now I want to see

Things weren't as bad as I made them sound. I guess I dramatized it for poetic effect, or something like that.NEways, I just wanted to say that everything is cool now.

We all stray from what we want to do in life, and it's sad when you see some people who don't "regain their sight" like you did. You describe this well. Thanks for sharing.

Poet on Acid- We might be coming from the same area, I'm not sure. I have read some of your's and it leaves me wondering if we are.
LoveBug-It is sad when people can't find their way back from problems in life. I was able to be shown the error in my ways, others need that kind of help.Thanx for reading

This was a nice poem. Glad to know the things have blown over a bit. Good job on realizing that you were hurting others. A true sign of maturity.


I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Great job on this poem, I always tend to magnify my problems in writing too.  I'm glad to hear that you've realized your faults and are working to change them.  Or something like that   Great job on the poem.
