Days, minutes, seconds fly by
i wonder around at the way side
the smiles and laughter without a care
i see past their lies but do i dare
tempted to open blinded eyes
but i realize that we live our lies
despite i set a mission from now till then
right now it starts, right now i begin
without a clue where to start or go
i can't explain how this will work, i just know
so set back and tell me i will fail
i've heard it before, though i will prevail
darkened is my heart from what i see
the lies we live with such zelous glee
please take to heart and make it thine
look at your watch, you're almost out of time


There's a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line.

Nice flow and rhythm in this piece Hoppy!  A thought-provoking read, with an "I will prevail" positive attitude ... you've expressed yourself well in this piece.  

Best wishes,
/Kit

  Hey. I missed this one before, and it's great.  Just thought it was definitely worthy of a lil nudge to the top..

Just would like to once again say that this was great.

The word great has already been used, so i'll add that it was really really really good.  That's the same as great but only in differen't words   Anyway, I like your poem.

hey everyone, wow i had forgotten i'd even written this poem on here    Nice to see someone dreadged it up and read it.  I haven't been posting much cause i'm having an enourmous writer's block.  
One of those times when your life seems dead....and with a dead life your writing can be no greater than the silence your living so i've not written in a while.
Though i hope i can get back into it soon.  
I might post some older stuff if asked    

Happy writing to all

One of thebest written poems I've ever read in Passions....I'll rate this the way I rated the other ones that i loved.."This should be Published" -- that's my rating

"the smiles and laughter without a care
i see past their lies but do i dare
tempted to open blinded eyes
but i realize that we live our lies"
