No real structure to this one, just bear with me. They say my habits Will kill myself. Is that such a bad thing, I wonder? I’m swimming in a pool of lies, And baby, I’m going under. I’ve been hurt, More than my share, And I keep getting up. They can’t break me, But they can try. I know they’ll just give up. It’s fine If you don’t like what I do. It’s my body. It isn’t You. When I collapse, At least I know, My will is stronger than Any crushing blow That you can deal, Or someone else To mind Or heart, Or self. Anything you throw, You know I’ll catch, And not a scar will show. At least, not on the surface, You’ll have to dig for it, you know. Just under my skin, and in my head Lies a story that should remain untold. At least, it’s not something all can hear. Yet, you listen as the nightmares unfold. You delved too deep, You know too much. And you haven’t found the end. Still you think For some reason There’s something you can mend. And I let you explore, Hoping you’ll get lost. I worry about Just how much this will cost. I don’t want to let you Get in stabbing range To use my own world Against me. I shudder away At your touch And offer a silent plea For you to simply disappear Get out of my life Away from here. You can’t get hurt, If you’re never found. Can’t get burned If there’s no fire around. People like you are the reason people like me need therapy. |

This was deep. I felt every word as if it were my own truth. I loved this poem. The fact that, as you say, there was no structure in your poem further eludes to the chaos and destruction that has deteriorated your world. Anyway, that's how I interpreted it. Loved it. yv |

Still you think For some reason There’s something you can mend. And I let you explore, Hoping you’ll get lost. i really loved that bit. Once again i love your work, your words compel me so strongly whenever i see your name i have to read your poems. if as you say this is one of your songs for you band, the band must be soo damn good. What music do u like? LOR "It would make those who listen to it doze into a land of rivers, kund fu and unicorns, eventually making the listener pee in his/her pants - Brandon |

Omg, if this is a song, let me at it. I want to hear it. Over and over and over......I absolutely loved this one. "Can’t get burned If there’s no fire around." and "I don’t want to let you Get in stabbing range To use my own world Against me." Best bits, in my opinion. I love the words and how you put them together and the pictures that form and I just love it. Hollow. "Why are my visions so unliving with dreams? And why do I no longer care?" - Stygian |

it's like you've gotten into my head. everything you said i have said silently to everyone. lashing out when i don't want to hurt people. i get what your saying. for someone in my life too has looked too deep inside of me and thinks they can mend what isnt there. Ice lost and afraid i am calling out to you light angel. |

This would indeed make a pretty awesome song. I try to write songs sometimes but...they don't really work right, hence my writing poetry instead lol. One part stood out to me for some reason...I was like oooh!..."And I let you explore, Hoping you’ll get lost." I love that part! Again, you have written another awesome write, just keep doing it! Great job ~*brezee*~ |
