Giving up or going on is basically the same As I pause in time for reflection Nothing exists outside myself anymore As I continue this inward introspection Knowing full well the approaching hour And things that now will never be It’s too late for dreams to come true Just accepting what Fate has in store for me I feel as if a stranger in my own life Screaming voices becoming louder now inside I would hate myself in utter totality If it wasn’t for my stubborn pride I live in the past because I have no future So tell me please how I feel right now I would give in to each and every sin If it was something I could allow Everyone thinks they will live forever But I’ve come to the foregone conclusion Something is coming, that much is certain, To wake us from this delirious delusion |

This is a fantastic poem, I must say I often feel the same way. The tragedy of it is that nobody sees the look of desperation on my face. Thousands and thousands of us, and we're passing one another without a look of recognition. |

JML, You and I are indeed leading parallel lives. . .let's just hope that they turn out for the best. . . This really spoke to me, as does all your writing. . . it always seems to fit exactly how I feel at the moment when I read it. . . Wonderful my friend. . ----------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

If it weren't for delusions of grandure, I'd have no delusions at all! Love this poem! Corinne |
