no  hard fee lings

in

fact

no feelings at all

a) better detachment
a) better way of living

days from here  i'll wake up numb
  and transparent
   the b e st  bri ghtest way                     to c ea se to make sense

if i had knees to pray      _ i'd think of some other way

if i had my own mind                          _ I'd lay false thoughts in your lap and watch them

disapp ear    

and there are no answers in this head
no  answers a t all

they make it so easy;

they swear that she brightens up the room     they swear that i'll run out of room

and the blood that leaks from the walls    will  only be my own

    i willput it in this pen   and write till i end ...until  i   end..

so overflowed at times
with listening to myself   -whine-

and i cant let go  of living with - out sound

all i am is  spread so  far
theres very little left
to go around
but the worlds a dirty business


we all do dirty business

and there will always be
- more to go around-

no longer afraid of the dark or midday shadows nothing so ridiculously teenage and desperate

Jackal...OMG this is fantastic...so dark and brooding...there are just too many wonderfully deep emotions to pick out one fav so suffice it to say I love the whole thing

Don't close your eyes to the possibilities

RESOUNDING APPLAUSE

imagine a big room echoing with it.

and there are no answers in this head
no  answers a t all

they make it so easy;

they swear that she brightens up the room     they swear that i'll run out of room

and the blood that leaks from the walls    will  only be my own

    i willput it in this pen   and write till i end ...until  i   end..


excellent

The wind shifts like this:
Like a human without illusions...
This is how the wind shifts:
Like a human, heavy and heavy,
Who does not care.

Hi Jackal, I must say that your poem really
captured me from beginning to end, loved the style, the content, everything.

Excellent!
