black hole named Aylmer

Rid myself of my misery.
In my mind,
I know it's all imaginary,
this restrictive force
holding me down.
It can't be this infectious town
attempting to alter the course
of life I have chosen.

I just can't shake this notion
that my life is caught behind
the 8-ball and
is heading in slow motion,
an unstoppable force
driving deep within my soul
to destroy any possible source
of happiness, a mole
clawing deep into my mind,
dragging out my darkest secrets
for all the critcs, to remind
them that I am human and imperfect.

lone-poet,

First of all I'd like to welcome you to Passions. I hope you enjoy your stay here as much as we will enjoy having you.

It seems that we all have problems remembering that others are human and imperfect sometimes. I hope that you know deep inside that you are just fine the way you are.

Please check your e mail for a special message.

                  Dawn

Wow, I think you did really well with this. The flow in the second stanza was better than the first for some reason. I don't know, but it was good.
Anyhow, the poem itself in content wise was pretty awesome. You expressed your thoughts clearly and wrote them down with raw passion. I could feel the power.
Very well done.

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

Whoa!!!! Stellar poem here! The internal blippity-blips of rhythm and smiliar sounds made it flow really well. It was a piece enjoyed!

Welcome to Passions!!

What an amazing first post! The rhyme scheme you have running through it is excellent. The second stanza is the one that hit the hardest here. People do tend to like to remind us that we're imperfect humans. Bah to them.....

I hope you enjoy your time amongst the walls here like we all do. Please take the time to reply as well as write. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to many more.

I would say welcome
if I didn't think that you were
really sick of just hearing that
so far.
But yeah what i think of the poem..
I like it very very much.
The second stanza seemed to hit
it home more with me then the
first, I like your imagery and
the line where you incorporated
the eight ball i thought that
was nicely done.
Great job!
And i can't wait to see what else
ya go!
Ta ta for now!
