From Chaos Good Will Spring

by EpithetPoet   Mar 31, 2005


When the world is dying all around you
Ask yourself what would you do?
While the constant thoughts leak to your brain
Would the world be better without you?

Or are you just thinking
With everything around you gone wrong
That the problem is not the you
But the feeling that you dont belong

And in all your attempts
All you seem to create are tears
Frightening those who would only love you
Those yearning to hold you dear

With all your crusading
Against this undefeatable foe
You cast a blind eye to those who matter
Then you claimed it never showed

When everything around you hurts
When it just makes sense to make it end
Take the time to look around you
And in the chaos you'll find a friend

    Here's your poem as I would have written it.

    When the world is failing to flourish
    Ask yourself what you would do?
    While constant thoughts leak to your mind
    Would the world improve without you?

    Or is it that you are just thinking
    With all that's around you gone wrong
    That the problem is not within you
    But the feeling that you dont belong

    And in all your weak, failed attempts
    All you seem to create are more tears
    Frightening those who would love you
    Those yearning to carry you near

    With all of your horrid crusading
    Against undefeatable foes
    You are blind to those who once mattered
    And you claim it never did show

    When all that surrounds you is broken
    When it makes sense to let it all end
    Take the time to gaze all around you
    And you'll find in the chaos, a friend

    I'm sorry I don't have time to explain myself. I wrote a humongous explaination and forgot to log in before I submitted it, so of course now it is deleted and I am very pissed.
    Pay close attention to every little detail I changed, including syllables.
    I am sorry for exploding at you before, but I truly do hate it when people post in the wrong categories.

    Happy Writing
