Journal Of My Thoughts

by WakingFreedom   Dec 7, 2009


I want everything to be right again
Have all the nightmares drop dead
I want everything to be normal again
But these are just wants trapped inside my head

Life and death all climb on to my lap
Over powering me with undeniable pain
Is it all going to end so soon?
Or am I just being too damn vain?

The stories of these happily ever afters
Just close at the end of this tattered old book
Wanting it to be real, wanting it to be true
Instead of having to search for it in every cranny and nook

I loved and I hated and I regretted a lot
I fought and I cheated and I won nothing
I gave myself headaches thinking it would end soon
But I just never had the nerve to realize it

Random memories like to wonder into my head
Like a moose into ones backyard
And graze on my tears and heart breaks
Just to fatten into sorrowful pounds

It's the memories that keep me awake
Coming to think of it
Fearful of its power over me
I think nothing of cheating it

I have fought in a war over dignity
A war with many battles unimaginable
Tears had to be shed and memories had to die
My actions weren't right, undeniably so

I have learned my lessons
and I have learned them quite well
I have to now conclude this write
As a journal of my thoughts

[[Authors Note: I just like to write random things down in the journal I keep at home, this is one I came up with. I hope more comes to me soon so I can just keep a Journal Of My Thoughts. I love being random and this piece just jumps around. It brings out what I am always thinking and stuff.]]

    Your rhymes could be better .. Instead of rhyming it with it , you could find another word , as well as make the other stanzas rhyme as well . The lack of the scheme throws off the flow a bit but it's not a big deal . I really like the content , and still 5/5

    "But these are just wants trapped inside my head"

    wants should be whats maybe?

    "I just like to have a sneak peek look"

    Idk why but sneak peek and then looks makes the line seem repetitive

    "Coming to think of it"

    usually i hear it said as "come to think of it.."
    idk for sure if you meant it that way but i just thought i'd bring it up

    over all - very well written
    it jumps around making it difficult to read... which in this case was very likable and kinda interesting
    you don't see that much
    it was challenging

    4/5
    good job
