Breathing deeply

by confusion   Apr 7, 2005


Block it out
hide the pain
turn the music
up again

watch as the clock seems to be slowing
seconds as minutes as hours
tossing and turning, frustration growing
seconds as minutes as hours
along with the dread and not really knowing
seconds as minutes as hours

ashamed to be with
scared of being without
fed up with the same stories
and circles of laughter to shouts

escaping to my place
imagining the impossible
in my very own space
where i live that impossible
no mask to cover my face
submerging in the impossible

wander for a while
walk and watch around
they carry on each day
a routine 'round and 'round
no lust, no desire or ambition
dreams sink deep into the ground
places they pictured when younger
are still yet to be found

take out the anger
in a brand new style
punching and screaming
walking for miles

tapping toes
only calmness shows
smashing glass, an 'accident'
hard down onto cold cement

breathing deeply
counting to ten
it goes for a moment
but soon back again

what i shouldn't think or say
what is wrongly thought of
what about real feelings in life
how about happiness or love

the fact you still walk by
that look expressing a thousand words
how you act so hard done
if only the others had herd

so it seems to be
the easiest way to me

block it out
hide the pain
turn the music
up again

*not really sure, any suggestions appreciated *

    i enjoyed this.it seemed to me to flow really fast (not sure if thats how i was reading it) but it really built up an energy through your words. i liked the repatition on the first stanza i thought that waas good. i thought the forth stanza struggled to flow however but i thought the poem got better and better towards the end. i really enjoyed it! thanks for ur kind words as ever
    take care always!
