Living A Daze I’ve seen all the picture shows Every single one I know Endings never change They are always, always the same I’ve been to all the tourist spots Laughed a bit, walked a lot Folks seem to like it here But they don’t realize that it’s nowhere Born into a mundane life With average parents And an average wife Every day is the same Isn’t it a shame when the big event Is that it rained I’ve got to go leave it all behind Start brand new and rewind Who Am I? I walk alone My family smiles but I don’t know There’re good to me but I need more I’ve never traveled Never warred Maybe I’ll go to Venice beach or Miami, even Hollywood New York may be calling me That truly is an artist’s peak I always wanted to work my craft Live a little, make some cash But my dreams were gone when I young My parents said no to them But here I am at middle age Insecure and full of rage My wife is weak and my son is lost All I have are my own thoughts Everyone say’s I’m insane They misunderstand but I’m to blame Communication was never my way No would listen anyway Who Am I? I walk alone My family smiles but I don’t know There good to me but I need more I’ve never traveled Never warred Who am I kidding? I cannot go Responsibilities take a hold My only friend is the past My only friend then was good old’ Jack Today is never going to change And that’s a fact But I am the only one who I can blame for that |

A great despair here, it comes out in this poem with sorrow of a life lost, of a wanting more. you've expressed it so well here. Joel. I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel. |

Len....mid life crisis is upon you. Take time to assess your attributes...the decisions you make today will chart your course for the future. Good interpretation of the situation.....Hardrock |

I felt so sad like I do when our dreams are put on hold or unattainable, I wish for much more for you, and more happiness in the future, This was sad but I enjoyed reading it very much, you spoke true emotions here. |

I think I am living that same scenario, just exchange the words wife to husband, and son to daughter. I'm sorry for your frustration, its a strong force, isn't it? Just think hard about what you need to do, and then..Do what makes you happy..if there is any possible way.. Good luck. Awesome poem in every way catalinamoon "If a man moves you to feel like a woman, the least you can do is let him." Merrit Malloy |

This is such a sad song, and it is a song isn't it? Makes me remember an old favourite quote I love, 'You must be the change you wish to see in your life and in the world!' All changes begin with you, you want to change anyone can see that, so do something about it hon!!!  I'll tell you this...... No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn..... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |

well i feel for you and hope you feel better real soon. as to the poem it was great i really enjoyed it. as to what Isis said to try to change people and the world starts with you. well thats what i think all of us here are trying to do help other people out and express ourselves to be better understood and thats why this place is so grand I'm a dying romantic and when i can no longer write i can no longer live -Jeremiah Johnson- |

~Here,...let me just say this...this is an outstanding expression of feelings. Wow,..you have written so well,...the whole picture for me to see and understand. Goodness,...I feel for you and your dreams. This line here is a killer..."But here I am at middle age. Insecure and full of rage". Whoa!!! Great work. *Peace. |
