My Meager Poetry: My Shadow

Thursday, January 26, 2006

Sunny spring day
Beautiful cliche'
My shadow was right behind me.

The birds were scattered
The peace was shattered
My shadow would not mind me.

"Go away" I said
It shook its head
My shadow began to bind me.

I struggled, I screamed
Not enough it seemed
My shadow was able to take me.

Horrified, confused
Ashamed and used
My shadow continued to break me.

Trapped here in hell
The girl in the shell
My shadow will eventually make me.

My Meager Poetry: Impressions

Coolness.
The murky deep water
The fish in the shallows
Sunlight on eroded rocks

Brightness.
Blazing white light
Bright green grass
A boulder in the sunshine

Hotness.
Warm stone against my skin
The breath upon my neck
Threats spoken in my ear

Darkness.
Held down in the dirt
His body blocks the sun
Demons hunt me in the night

My Meager Poetry: Untitled

*****DISCLAIMER: Before y'all go jumpin' off the deep end over this one, I have to say this. I am depressed. Therefore I have a dark outlook right now. But suicide takes something I don't have: guts, motivation, and ambition. So chill, relax, read, and enjoy a walk into the more surreal side of my head.*****


Loosening the moorings
Slipping the knots
Weigh the anchors
Quiet my thoughts

Ironic that peace comes
When you're saying goodbye
To a life filled with pain
And terror, and 'why?'

The taxes need filing
Hope they water my plant
Give them strength to cope
Because I just can't

I don't want to be here
It's as simple as that.
So raise my kids
And take care of my cat.

Don't take it personally
It's not about you
I'm tired of fighting
It's what I want to do

But like anything else
I want to achieve
I lack ambition
and I've earned no reprieve.
