Lost in a haze,
Haunted by a face,
My memories remind me, of a better place,
Only to find myself stranded here thinking,
Where did everyone go, as my veins glow,
Under the flouresent light of my soul
Now that I relize the limit of my sky
I find myself wounded by a treacherous lie
Just another victim of childhood stardom
Caught in the crossfire, waiting to die

Now this I like. It's so dark and wrote the piece very well. Despite its shortness, you described quite a bit.
Thanks for sharing this. I will be looking for more.

That was really great, I had tears in my eyes. It reminds me of someone I knew. I lost a close friend. That was very touching.

Damn Garret! I LOVE this. A very deep, dark write. You expressed yourself SO well, and so beautifully. Hope to see more.

very cool poem.....I'm assuming in this case, the word "die" is used metaphorically

That last line really gave me chillbumps... that hit the hardest.  Very powerful poem... and dark.  I enjoyed this one.  It's nicely written.  I look forward to seeing more from you, hopefully soon.

I enjoyed the poem. I thought you did quite well on it. The word 'die' in my eyes was metaphoric, like SEA took it....so yea hehe nice poem  

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