my own little world

0 posted 2003-10-29 10:32 PM



Rough day
Retreating from the world
Closing down shutting out
just wanna be alone

away from the pain
away from the world
the screams
the taunts
the insults
the stares

just fade away
like shadow corrupting
the ending day
just me and thyself

no one else

surrounded by the masses
alone in the end
will i ever find my place in life
or always be forever abandoned

forever alone
with shadowed doubts
doubt of light
doubt of hope
doubt of life
doubts of you

just fade away
like shadow corrupting
the ending day
just me and thyself

alone in the dark

tired of the roller coaster life
ready and willing to change the score
I gotta discover it this time
this is me
but there’s more just gotta be more

more to this life
than boorish repetition
more peace
less fight
no shattered dreams
no shattered light

just fade away
like shadow corrupting
the ending day
just me and thyself

alone, alone
a tribute to silence


---hm, i wrote the last line, but it doesn't seem affective to me...any ideas guys?---

This poem is pretty good, but the end could have been stretched out a bit.  It seems kind of abrupt, but that could add to the poem, as its out of place "theme" {i guess you would call it that}.  Nice write.  Oh and did I call it a poem?  Forget that.  It could be a song. hehe.

lol, i could not think of any different endings. my creative ability shorted out at that point, =b. lol. oh well, i'll think of something sooner or later, or drag will. =). thanks Green, we really thought we'd try to make it a song, lol, so i'm glad you noticed. =). maybe someday when one of us gets a record contract or something we can put it on an album. =).
