It's been a while.  A long while.  Let's just say, my mind has been far from 100%, But tonight a flow coursed through my fingertips once again, and again I was able to write poetry.  Back with a vengence you might say, but for how long I'm unsure.  I hope for a while at least.

My demons still call me from closets beneath bridges, from behind the doors of closets.  I have much to deal with yet, but at last there is a chance for me to get some of it out.  So thank you for listening for my ramble:P  and Enjoy this poem of mine I've written just minutes ago.  Pardon any mistakes, I haven't taken the time to proofread.  I'm rather... Envigorated.  Thanks again, and enjoy.

I CHALLENGE LIFE
-----------------


I challenge Life,
In a world of masked illusion,
With fake visions of perception,
I challenge life to defy me.

I challenge life,
In a world untamed in shame,
With wicked shrines of uncertainty,
I defy life to grasp me.

I challenge life,
In a world of a thousand paths,
With the relics of pain and misfortune calling from all corners,
I defy life to force me.

I challenge life,
In a world of helplessness,
With the plague of ignorance and stubborness in this world,
I defy life to stop me.

I challenge life,
In a world where it's 'life' that holds us back,
With it's web of time, knowledge, and emotion...
I'll endure life's battle and become who I was meant to be.

Myself.

I too like the spirit of this piece. Life is a constant assualt on our minds, bodies, and souls. But we have to keep going.

I can feel your spirit, and I can see even though sometimes life does give us turmoils and we stumble that it's only through life that we begin to live, keep on writing your writing shows alot of feeling and life.

I'm very impressed

I challenge life,
In a world of a thousand paths,
With the relics of pain and misfortune calling from all corners,
I defy life to force me.
