Me and my Shaddow

PostPosted: Wed Aug 29, 2007 11:54 pm


I know i've been vacant for quite awhile but life- has been depressing.
Once again another free verse.
I hope yall like it.
The critiques on my other one were awesome. Thanks for the 1 good thing- 1 bad thing deal!
razz

This one is another one. Something i've really been struggling with in my life. It's ashame you can't really do anything with poetry as far as getting it published.

Its two am and as I sit here and think-
About all my wasted time.
I look back into the caverns of my mind-
Knowing that’s a dangerous place to be.

Dark caverns lit by a misty past-
Crawl into my present-
Reminding me of who I was-
Where I came from .

The new day is coming and trying to mock my presence on this earth.
Trying to lean on my own feet- I find my own heart dying in the cool of the night.
What irony.
A voice quietly creeps up that scares away some of the shadows.

I take my days- one step at a time.
Listening to the world mock me as I take my steps.
Watching the cars go busily by
As I walk to work I think about my dreams that eat me inside.

Will I ever be free?
The experts say I have to release-
But they don’t see me.
They don’t see my cave that I have built deep inside.

Always mediocre-
Never right.
Always good-
Never right.

Dangerous words for one so weak minded as me.
I put up a good fight-
But who am I behind these masks?
Am I simply too afraid to tear them down- because I don’t want to admit- that I’m just- ordinary me?

Great work, I cant seem to find something to pick on, keep it coming. rofl

EDIT: Writing a poem is good for your soul, what you do with it afterwards has no meaning.
