NOTE: Ok well this may seem like it's one of my humurous poems, but it's not. It's kinda funny i guess...cuz it's weird. It makes me laugh sometimes when i pop out of the deep meaning. But...here you go: Tub of Meaning: You're standing on my foot. I'm naked in the tub. I know you see the light, But that's just me. Life is circular. We're all clay squares. It's everything you fear. It's me in the tub. "I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust." I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them! |

Aiight I gotta admit I'm confused. Then again I AM dumb sometimes...but anyways, it was a cool poem..even tho I didn't interpret it well I'm sure... ~Carly The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned. ~Isaiah 9:1-2 |

Well I don't get it either. so, like you seem to have to do a lot with me (yeah, i'm kinda slow sometimes), can you help me out??  I mean, I get some of it and have a thought of the meaning, but maybe I'm way off from what you meant. anyway, uh...yeah. < !signature-->"Disagreements stimulate thought, thought stimulates action, and action stimulates life." --Me!!

OK this is hard, even for me. Sometimes I forget what i was thinking while i write. I mean....one time i wrote that a Carbon 12 molecule was Satin in physical form. I've been searching for 2yrs on what the hell is so satanic about a Carbon 12 molecule..hahaha....true story...but oh well now to the poem. FIRST STANZA: When you stand on somebody's foot you really don't notice they are there. It's like....all of a sudden somebody screams out "Ouch!" and you're like....."oh sorry i didnt mean too!"......So it's like.... you're all standing on something that you don't know it's there. So me being naked in the tub symbolizes the truth....the NAKED truth of whats really out there in the world. Then it's like....i say "i know you see the light".....the light also symbolizing truth and so on......but then in the next verse i say "but that's just me".....as if to say that i am the light aswell. So it's like.....you see a light....but hey..don't worry buddy...it's me....hehe...following so far? ok! SECOND STANZA: Life is circular states that life just goes around and around in this eternal, tidious cycle of nothingness and we just let it go and go like this energizer bunny from hell. We're all clay squares basically means that we're not living how we should live. We're like these molds made by somebody for their own purpose. LIke we're being controlled....mainly by society and so on. So then I say "It's everything you fear"....and this is pretty much obvious....but im not reffering to the hell we presumably live in....this conformist BS....the fake life....the circular wrath.... the clay figured sense of things...but what we fear is me in the tub. Which is TRUTH...... TRUTH IS WHAT WE FEAR!!!!!!! *takes a breath* BOOYA! DONE! *pants*  "I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust." I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them! |

Very impressive, my friend. Before I read the explaination, I was lost! I love your symbolism, even though it's confusing to the brainless. Thanks for posting."Where there is great love there are always miracles" -Cather "Love heals everything, and love is all there is"- Zukav |

I liked this a lot. I read it and then I sat and thought about it. I read the first stanza and I came away with almost a knock on society. You have this person stepping on people and hes too busy to see what hes doing because hes searching for the truth but in fact the truth lies in the people that hes stepped upon. I just thought it was great! ~CareBear |

Well thank you everybody. I didn't think this poem would do much of anything to anybody. I think the explanation is what got to some people. A lot of my past poems are even deeper than this but got NOTHING from anybody haha.....i think my deepest poem i ever wrote....i posted it on here and it got like 3 replies or something. I was pissed but hey, that's life. I even said "this is one of my deepest poems" AHHHHHH!!!! haha. Anyway I am very happy that you all took the time to read this short poem of mine. I don't particularly like it, but hey! Thanks! I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them! |
