The other night, I was sitting trying to write something, and NOTHING was coming to mind. I finally gave up, and a couple of hours later, I literally had to run and grab my notebook and write this down.

Once clear blue eyes
Now fog with tears
Hide the pain
Forget the fear
Until at night
When all alone
Ghosts within your memory groan

Once innocent face
Now wrought with years
Hide the pain
Forget the fear
Until one day
Returns the hate
Perhaps this past is now my fate

Once hopeful thoughts
That now don't care
Hide the pain
Forget the fear
Can't ever leave
Can't ever stay
I've got to run. To get away.

aahhh...it seems you've reached a point in life where your past is no long and integral part of your present and a mere  ghost which haunts it...this means that it time to take strides toward the future, thus creating a new past...good luck and keep writing, it's good stuff.

Be it in the truest form, or a desperate lack thereof, fail not to understand that the inspiration is love.

Ooooo, this was good! hehe How you had to run and get your notebook, that's how all my writing is! Isn't it amazing? I'd put up my favorite part but I liked all of it! Good write! ~Jess

Oooh I do like this. I have one critique though and that would be to change

"Once clear blue eyes
Now fog with tears"

to

"Once clear blue eyes
Now fogged with tears"


Other than that I really enjoyed this piece Good job!

Life may be hard, but it's your attitude that determines your happieness
