~As a Result of
by Joy~

An occasional flinging
Of dried leaves out the window
Of a rusted pick-up
A forcing of my mouth muscels to smile
A smile that hurts
A tightening on the steering wheel
As the vhecial doesn't go anywhere
As a result of no gas
As a result of no money
As a result of myself meaning nothing to me

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old time is still a-flying,
And this same flower that smiles today
To-morrow will be dying.

Let's get this straight.. cos you mean nothing to yourself you didn't bother filling the tank? Don't be so hard on yourself you forgot is all...
I liked this piece, but I am saddened to always see you so hard on yourself hon...
Smile for Isis please?? *hugs*

I'll tell you this...... No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn.....

~Awww,...I could so see you sitting there. You've told this tale so well, but please don't say that you mean nothing. You knew that was coming,....that is so not true. I believe you to be a very talented and worthy individual. Please take care of you. *Peace.

By gum! I know that feeling too. Those moments in which you think: why do I bother? But don't let those feelings get the better of you, it IS worth the bother!!

I feel I have to apologize for this piece. My poems tend to exagerate a lot a lot what I'm feeling. This one really doesn't hold ground to me feeling bad about myself. Other poems in the past have, but not this one. It's just those little bugs in me that trigger pieces like this.
My life is pretty good right now. So don't worry 'bout me. Thanks.

Glad to hear it kid, it was a bit down. haha
and I'm glad to hear your doing ok.
But I can really see the part of no money, no gas, hahaha looking for work right now myself. hahaha crud.
But all in all just use an Okie credit card, for those that don't know what that is, ask a gas station attendant for one. hahaha

I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.
