my own little world

0 posted 2004-04-13 01:54 PM



I feel the cold gaze of unknown
bearing some crude occult mark
sending chills within my spine and bone
I'm scared
easily frightened
because your claws itch for scratch
and your oozing bloodthirsty mind is enlightened
by the scent of a potential catch
screaming agony beckons
my paralyzed soul cries out
this intense pounding never seems to lessen
overcome by false hope and plagues of doubt
I in irony
retreat to darkness
thinking that by coming I'm running
that I'll taunt your phony "Goddess"
that I'll stare you in the face and die laughing
laughing because I'm flirting with death
And I'm choked for words to repent
crashed and wrung out I'm on my last breath
my courage is worn away and bent
all at the same moment you pounce
but it's too late
somehow chance made me bounce
and I was rescued by fate
I wish this is how it ends
but it doesn't
the same story happens over and over again
I'm caught in a re-run
and I'm falling every time
it's not a joke
this isn't fun
it's all for real and I'm less than fine
someone tell me how to fix this
I'm scared
I keep dying
I'm tired of all that takes place
and of the pain that exists

sleep my precious slumber

Nice lines here River. Enjoyed.

If nothing is something
then everything is
our thoughts and feelings
and all that exists.

My advice? Keep the light on and check under the bed eveyr night before you go to bed.

Good write.

that's kool Wayne, thanx for replying...Hollow...lol, if only I where 5 years old and scared of the monsters under the bed this would be funny. it's more in depth than that...it's true i was comparing it to that and half heartedly making fun of myself but at the same time it is serius. maybe this is due for a re-write. oh well.

I know what you meant when you wrote the poem, it's dark, even scary, I espescially liked

"I in irony,
retreat to the darkness,"

I felt what you meant,
Hollow,

Hollow who keeps the light on still

ok, as long as we are on the same page...sorry, I'm probably more touchy about this than i should be hee hee, probably because I don't want to be thought of as the scardy cat that i really am sometimes. do you ever find yourself laughing in a horror movie? I do. it's strange.  especially when things jump out. ok, so i won't leave the light on but i will turn the headphones wayy up and hide under many covers...that could get kindove hot...
