I’m tired of existing
within this sphere
of the mundane;
a place abhorred,
where even fantasies
are reduced
to transparency,
a wisp of vapor,
fragile and immaterial.

how very very kewl...i really liked this poem! i loved your use of vocab!   hehe

All i want in life is to be happy
It seems to me
How messed up things can be
Everytime i get ahead
I fell more dead

Well, it is so true, when your fantasies aren't even good anymore, things get pretty discouraging. Well said.

It may be short, but it doesn't lack a thing! I love the last lines starting with fantasies, for me it is those lines that bring out the power of this piece.

I've had to read this several times to be comfortable with how I respond. I know this feeling, but like the poem, to put a finger on the feeling's specifics, it licks lightly at the subconscious.. barely touching, but so familiar. I like the mental journey this piece sent me on.. well done.

Always,
Sheila

Discouragin yes, but insignificant no!  Jonas you have to believe that you were and are important.  The powers that be put you here with some purpose in mind.  None of us were accidents.  The hard part is finding that purpose, it may take years, it may take a lifetime but keep looking for it, and don't lose heart.. *hugs*

Thank you everyone! I guess this poem is about how life sometime becomes stagnant. You are not moving backward or forward, just existing.
