Sometimes I feel so alive and Sometimes I feel so dead Sometimes I could cry The thoughts from my head Sometimes, I Personality changing, shifting, Disengaging New voices to spark The old fires The same mind aging Pale blue light, lost my sight Until dawn’s sunlight Rage taking control of me Exposing me Destroying me Until then, I couldn’t recognize My own eyes Or how I do despise Sometimes I can be so cold and Sometimes I run so hot Sometimes I’m told, A treasure I am not This story is getting old Lifetime spent lost, losing Paying the cost Only my will to find a way Out of the flames and Out of the frost Hating me, loving me Just being me Waking up watered down Feeling lost within a frown Then up, then down Can’t get off the floor Can’t get out the door Can’t take this no more Sometimes I smile and Sometimes I hide Sometimes after awhile Tired after the ride, Don’t know; who am I? |

Dr. Joseph Murphy would say "you are a child of eternity" and I add "you are doing just fine, dear Poet!". I think we can all relate to a certain extent to your significant write, dear J.. Go on wondering and questioning, you do it so well. Love, Margherita |

Heartfelt, raw stream-of-consciousness piece- if this is confessional poetry then I do wish you clarity and peace, CG. Best~ Amaryllis |

Sometimes I’m told, A treasure I am not Then someone's telling you wrong. *S* For a treasure you are... as a person and as a poet. *S* Sometimes our skin can't seem to hold us in... You've written that brilliantly! |
