NOTE: I haven't posted in a while. I'm almost done with the 6th round. I finished the Round in November of '00. Just a few more poems/songs left and then we'll be onto the 7th track which already had 80+ works and I'm still working on it.
Anyhow...this poem really sucks...sorry guys.


A Late Decay:


You've never been this way.
Holding onto the nothingness,
Savoring the pain.
It's the maybe of the whatever sickness.

Plastic arms wipe your tears.
Just try to make it through.
Do what a doer doesn't
While loving his blank walls.

You seem pale today.
Eyes red with insomnia.
I hope you make it through.
Soon enough you'll be through.


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

"It's the maybe of the whatever sickness."
and
"Do what a doer doesn't"

I swear if you don't quit it with the negativity I'll be forced to bite you. And don't think I won't.  

I must have missed a lot because that whole note thing just went over my head. What have you been up to? Whatever it is it sounds good.

Loved the poem. I mean really. I love your style. This one had a few good lines in it. It also showed concern and thoughtfulness of someone else without being all sentimental and "mushy". That's a good thing by the way. Not everybody can do that well.

I had a dream once that I could fly and I laughed at everyone and kicked them in the back of the head because they couldn't fly too. :)

I see why you didn't like it, it seemed a bit laboured.  You tried just a bit too hard on this one I think...
And ohhhh, so that's what you meant by the sixth round.

I really don't think this "sucks ".
Some great observations here, Javier.

Thanks everybody on your comments....they mean a lot.

Allan- Actually this only took about 2 minutes to write. I remember writing this so long ago in my little note book and it just came out so quick that I didn't have any real thought over what I was writing. I had the general concept and I flowed.

NOTE: This whole poem is me writing in character of somebody talking to ME.
I'm trying to tell myself that, well...I'm screwed and soon enough I'll be through. Not in death, but more like an internal decay that was inevitably going to happen, and it did

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

I have to echo everyone else here and say that this poem does not suck in any way, shape, or form.  it has some really neat images in it and the wording of it was truly awesome.  thanks for the read, keep posting.

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.

How can you possible think that this poem sucked in any way?  This is a very well written poem.  After I read your note on the reply, I went back and read the poem again, and that really helped.  It's a very creative poem in that way, and I enjoyed reading it very much.  It's nice to see you posting again.
Very nicely done

Dopey, i believe you did good on this poem.  Honestly though, it isn't anywhere close to your best.  Hope you don't take that the wrong way.  Thanks for sharing
