I've been looking at you from this view, blinded by a glare. Staring at the masses, Wondering why is life so odd? I've had a shallow outlook, for just way too long. I'm now yearning for a way to change, fix the things that have gone wrong. I've hated you; I've loved you, for reasons just too many. Never understanding why I should feel either. Never understanding, just floating through the day. Now I'm going to try, to look at you anew. To fix the way my life has travelled, to alter what has gone astray. I will now try to know... the difference between existing...and living my life. |

Profound...I completely agree with the difference between 'existing' and 'living'.. 'Never understanding just floating through the day'..I bet ALOT of people do that. Hope you find what you're looking for..  "Controlling my feelings for too long.... And forcing our darkest souls to unfold... And pushing us into self-destruction...." *~Muse*~ |

Wow, this is great, you expressed this so well. The poem is great and so is the attitude you've shown, trying to start over and take control of your life. "Disagreements stimulate thought, thought stimulates action, and action stimulates life." --Me!! http://www.thehungersite.com |

this is a very good poem. i like the phrase "i will now try to know the difference between existing and living my life." i try to make the difference between living and just existing but it always seems that all i do is exist.good poem. Tia I'd rather have someone hate me for who i am,than to have someone like me for who i'm pretending to be My theory is that I might die at any moment. |

"I will now try to know... the difference between existing...and living my life" What more can i say. Your way with words is simply amazing  I see no changes, wake up in the morning I ask myself, "Is life worth living or should I blast myself" TUPAC SHAKUR |

I too am very impressed with it. As with many other people that replied, the last line sums it up the best. "I will now try to know... the difference between existing...and living my life." Awesome Jon |

"Now I'm going to try, to look at you anew. To fix the way my life has travelled, to alter what has gone astray. I will now try to know... the difference between existing...and living my life" Wouldn't it be nice if everyone could fix what has gone astray? It'd be a bloody good Christmas present that's for sure. Once again, another great piece. Keep writing! ~AF~ "When I eat I feel. It is better if I don't feel, I am too afraid." - Ellen West |
