Never Ending Test

by EpithetPoet   Jan 25, 2005


What i wouldn't give
To feel alive
To live that life
I was deprived

To not be sad
Or live in guilt
Not be sheltered
In this box i built

What i wouldn't give
To feel free
Not a care to express
Just happy as me

Not make mistakes
Live by choice
Let people know
That i have a voice

What i wouldn't give
To be happy all day long
Comfortable around people
Never told i was wrong

But this is my life
Dead, caged, and depressed
Just 'living' my 'life'
The never ending test

    From the title -- so rare, yet so vivid and contemporary -- to the irony of living a life one never wanted; one never endorsed...A most superb piece.

    I like the whirl of emotion. Dead center focused. Depression - Pain, guilt, regret, & desires...a very eerily culminating piece.

    Yet again, Superb.
