WORDS OF DECAY Torn I am Between life and death Neither alive nor dead I`ve lost myself again Balancing on the edge Fledged I feel Ready to jump My tortuous mind is pulling me Back and forth Out of heaven back to hell Twisting and twirling Out of my temple into this shell Over and over I do this And I know I`ll do it again All confused and on the brink None of you can know what I think Endless brevity mark my thoughts As they shatter my restless soul Vaguely I begin to decide What side to choose Which side to lose And as I see the end arrive I feel all my senses die One by one they leave me dead Lying rigid alone in bed But freezing I awake And I realize with fright The morning has broken Another day has begun And I have to do it all over again Some day has to be the last It must soon all come to an end It must end It will end And these words of decay Are the same that keeps me living Driven by pain I struggle to breathe In the filth you all throw I crawl on my knees below Through my endless tunnel to hell I`ve become to messed up to care I`m less alive than dead So why even bother to try? Why not just gather my soul and die? [This message has been edited by Broken (edited 03-27-2000).] |

The emotions really echoed through on this one ... Great Job  "A poet is one who spends a lifetime standing out in thunderstorms, waiting to be hit by lightning" ~Randal Jarrell~ |

Simply amazing my friend...very instense beauty. This one really touched me because I relate to your emotions so well. Keep up the fight....you can win but only if you keep trying. It's well worth the struggle. Someday you'll find this to be true. Once again, excellent poem Broken. Yours truly, Angel "The dark weight of the hour humming madly filling my head with blood and sorrow and dread the executioner's song." -Jewel "The Dark Bells" ~*Angel of Darkness*~ |

Great Poem, very powerful. I know the feeling as i go through it often. Time will reveal all truths, be patient The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, not the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship." --Ralph Waldo Emerson |

Such power in this one! All answered WILL be revealed, all happiness begins so simply - with Hope! There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |

All confused and on the brink None of you can know what I think Endless brevity mark my thoughts As they shatter my restless soul Vaguely I begin to decide What side to choose Which side to lose And as I see the end arrive I feel all my senses die One by one they leave me dead Lying rigid alone in bed But freezing I awake And I realize with fright The morning has broken Another day has begun And I have to do it all over again ---------------------- exceptional work here..very wll written and thought out...you have expressed your emotions powerfully in this, great work. take care,jm Do you live by the book, do you play by the rules Do you care what is thought by others about you If this day is all that is promised to you Do you live for the present, the future the past... tracy chapman |
