I can

by Chris   Nov 28, 2004


I can’t bear this anymore
Its torturing my mind
The dull thudding monotony
Of this shattered life of mine
I’m plagued by total certainty
And tormented by endless time
My nerves are twisted and frayed
Torn violently from my spine

Look back to my birth
A baby with such hopes and dreams
A life so new and so bright
A future so squeaky clean
Well, you know, that’s all gone now
From that one life to live
I screwed up good and proper
I’ve got nothing more to give

I’m desperate to move now
Desperate to run
My mistakes are fiercely knotted
They cannot be undone
I will not survive here
They've still not had their fun
It won’t stop till I’m finished
Left rotting in the sun

Letting out a scream
A scream which speaks my mind
I’m screaming out for freedom
A tiny window to shine
Lets sow the seeds of hopelessness
Lets run the race of time
In this perpetual race for liberty
Lets never give up trying

The birds have stopped their singing
What a god send of bliss
What a release from that screeching
What a blessing this is
It makes me feel so free now
So free, but so alone
Oh why can’t they start again?
And make this feel like home

Again, another oldie. I'm recovering

    I'm glad you're recovering... Damn, that poem definetely shows some strong, dark emotions. Keep writing down everything you feel, it's talented. I love your use of words, they're extremely bold.

    Its flow captured me from the start. Begging from the world a second chance. After your lost repentence leaves you defenseless. Superb.
