Years go by
And nothing has changed
You are still a taker
And you act like you're deranged.

'Me, me, me', is all I ever hear
Your dreams, hopes and desires
You tend them, you cater to them
And you always stoke the fires.

But what of the others around you?
They too have dreams and hopes
But they matter so little to you
As the noose is tightened on the hangman's rope.

Lazy, selfish sub existance
You've gotta find something more to take
But all too soon it'll come crashing down
As the world realises you're a fake.

But there amid the ashes of adversity
A single light still glows
The light of hope, faith and love
Burns brighter than you'll ever know.

And out of those ashes a phoenix will arise
She will glow with triumphant joy
Earning her place in the world's history
While you cry and snivel like a little boy.

The ascension has begun
Stand back cos you can feel the power
A power greater than you can even dream of
And all know you will sit and glower.

You're not the centre of attention
Nor do you deserve to be
A lazy dreamer of pipe dreams
Is not the life for me.

I will move up and beyond
Beyond your comprehension
And all the while you'll wonder why
Your very existance is nothing but tension.

Because Karma is alive and well
And it watches you so closely
And when it's your turn to scream in horror and pain
You'll be alone and howling morosely.

Isis is back!

Hi Isis,

So very glad to see your name and read your work, powerful feelings are in this piece and my favorite part is,

"But there amid the ashes of adversity
A single light still glows
The light of hope, faith and love
Burns brighter than you'll ever know."

Love, Cerenity

I agree with serenity. My favorite lines are:

"Lazy, selfish sub existance
You've gotta find something more to take
But all too soon it'll come crashing down
As the world realises you're a fake."

Welcome back Isis!!!!

I am not here much, but it GREAT to *see* you again also.

As for the poem... I know a few people like this also. Nicely written btw

A friend, like a candle, is most needed in the darkness.
