Contemplating Complacency

by Kuro   Oct 16, 2010


Ignoring the sun
As it shines in my face
Forgetting my burdens
Like they've been misplaced

Deep down I know
I'm dissatisfied
But for right now
I'll believe the lies

I'm too used to
Playing along
Pretending like
Nothing is wrong

The only way that
I can find peace
Is to put it off
And rest at ease

    Well, it certainly is a poem about life. lol. I completely get it 100%. Life is about not thinking about the stress sometimes and the only way we can relax is to not think about it. I do that ALL the time. Great job!! :)

    I agree with the ladies for once :-) I like your style of writing, it's simply with a lot of emotion or feelings attached.

    ^^a very sad writing..but again..i think some times best thing is to ignore the misery that is l living around us..to have some peace as we ignore the burdens that life bestowed ..
    But again..we knw there would be a burden that we cant handle.. so chin up :)

    sad writing, gd wording..i love the simplicity of it..unforced and am sure many can relate

    5/5
