For once, I just wanted to write a poem that's just goofy...
==========

I'm swept into a world
Beyond my imagination
Full of the real
And the surreal
I am lost.
Captured by the innocence,
Enchanted by the images
I face
As I bump into a tree.
Ouch.
Subconsciously, I retreat
In a mad daze.
I wander aimlessly about.
I seem to be searching
For something.
Can't find it.
"Blind bat," I tell myself.
I bump into another tree.
Dizzy, confused, and lost
I run, or stagger
Into someone.
It's me.
We stare at each other.
And stare.
And stare.
Life passes
We become old.
Our reflections withering
Our eyes
Dimming
I still haven't found what I'm looking for.
Where am I anyways?
Dangit...
Coffin.

NO....no this was not humorous....this was great. I can see how it could have been taken as a funny poem, but I saw a deeper side to it.....very well done....very very well done. I mean if you didn't tell me it was supposed to be funny I would have just taken it to be one of your good poems. This was really well done. The deep side to it really hit me. I liked it so much. Hope to read more "funny" ones hehe.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.

What is with you and bumping into things?
I think you use it to symbolize something, but I can't seem to think of what it is.
A little insight would be appreciated
thanks for sharing
