I’m tired. I’m tired of the apathy. I hate how each advancement in technology seems to alienate us from each other even more. I hate how everything screams sex. I hate the men who hurt little girls. I hate to see the imagination diminish. It’s hard to die and bring yourself back to life on your own, but it’s the only way. they say: Get your damn feelings straight. No. You know, it’s okay to be confused. I do believe this. I’m not willing to compromise myself in order to make sense. I’m just not. I fit into the slot of innocence. Do I like it here. Of course I like it here. It’s so different from where they stand. I wish I had their shoes sometimes. They seem to be a shining color. The light up when you walk kind... My bones are soft but they are not treasured. This is not pretty or accepted. We are not honest enough. The past and future make up now. Yesterday raped tomorrow and created this day. They will never speak again… in fact yesterday is acting very maimed, what with fake bruises and all. Instead we must speak for them because neither will take the fault. So what are you willing to admit. Everyone has an answer. all of them are right. I'm just saying. Speak your mind. because it's not worth it to hide away. I'm not bitter I'm just lonely. |

well i really didn't dig this poem as much as i thought i would when i read the title. The reason for this is probably because it kind of read like a narrative piece and narrative's really aren't my style. Though this wasn't my favorite one part of the poem stuck out "yesterday raped tomorrow and created this day" I liked that alot. either way keep writing and thanks for the read. -John nice use of muffin |

Everyone has an answer. all of them are right. I'm just saying. Speak your mind. because it's not worth it to hide away. i liked this part, and i liked the ideas in it, although i didnt really dig the style of the poem. it was too much of a rant to me, i guess. some really great ideas in there though... Keep writing, im gonna keep my eye out for you... _keryn By the way, your hands are shaking... |
