hi this is one more of my posts. maybe my 3rd i forget. okay. read and reply please, thank you. bye.

only one

When the days are so dull like this one
Well does it mean I am too
If when I'm lost
Does that mean my mind is wandering
When the results aren't always perfect
Am I not either?
I know it's wrong to doubt myself like this
But I can't pretend to find myself
And if I can't find myself
Must mean I'm sure not found
When all's rotten and things are well
Does that mean I've gone bad?
I feel just like this should feel
Like nothing and it must mean I'm not a thing
If I'm spoken about in past tense
Does that mean I'm as good as dead?
And as I wonder day to day
I realize I'm not needed anyway
I've forsaken the world and myself
And I believe I'm nothing..
I believe I may have passed up a good thing
And before my raw truth is cooked
I must let myself know
I was born into this without help
Without the comfort of hell i'll remain like tomorrow.. so close to dead and
My head aches like it were a tumor and
My eyes peel off of every movement as if it were my last look and
My feet like splinters on smooth floor and
The world in my eyes is like no place I need..
My last days these have to be numbered because everywhere I look I see only one.

The entire piece was outstanding, and from this poet's point of existence, all too well relatable. Very cool poem. Your weaving of yourself into the cynical, sarcastic metaphors of life through sore eyes was awesome.
"When all's rotten and things are well
Does that mean I've gone bad?
I feel just like this should feel"
Indeed....
(((And a belated WELCOME TO DARK!!!)))
