if you can understand what i mean in this poem please tell me any way you can because i have showed this to a lot of people and none of them have gotten what the message is and where it came from

the clear thought
that is what i seek
so that i be like others
just meager and bleak

all the people
lying to get their way
everything is nothing
so i take it and stay

go this way
and that
deception
like at rat

one day thinking
mowing the lawn
i think why
all emotions are gone

here but gone
bitter sweet
just sitting in this
could and heat

while hiding it to all others
trying to make sense
i'm a different to all of them
they wonder why i'm tense

that is that
here and there
all around
but nowhere

bad in good
captivity in freedom
stupid ness in intelligence
silence while i hum

coming but going
both off and on
just remember
i'm here but gone


i write poems all the time and i post them for all of you. some times i write 4or 5 a day and then sometimes just one and i post the one that i like

Sorry, it's the A.M. and I am going to have a tough time deciphering this one.
Well you say a lot of things like "hot and cold," combining two opposites. Like nothing is different, even from its opposite. And then you mention that you are different from everyone else.
But if even hot and cold are the same, how can you really be different from everyone else?
Or maybe you are saying that you are so different, so unique, that even hot is more similar to cold?
Well that's what I figured anyways. It was a nice poem, by the way.

Ok...I'm gonna take a shot at this...it's like you are standing there, looking at your life...looking at you not being there, living it the way everyone else wants you to be, you are different, but no one really gives, it's like...aslong as you give give give, they are fine, but as soon as you ask for something in return, you hear you didn't give enough...and then you get drained...but still no one really cares...and I'm starting to think I am missing the whole thing...

Planning big can be a gamble...I have already rolled the dice!

Well I can see that you praise Duality within the poem. Duality: On/off here/gone stupidity/intellect everything/nothing.

So yea.....then the title is CLEAR THOUGHT.
My guess is this: The clear thought you are talking about is the fact that you are looking at it from the flip sides. meaning you see it ALL......all angles and thus making it a clear thought rather than one tracked.
Uhhhhhhhhhh or maybe this poem is about a spoon.



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
