Falcon2001 Posted May 18, 2002 Report Share Posted May 18, 2002 Keeping myself afloat on a sea of fear Walking along, nothing seems wrong here I'm seemingly fine, hope keeps me sane Then I relax my guard and fall again Hello Despair, my eldest friend Why have you come back again? My brother's problems all my fault And the worries will never halt When there's nothing to lose and much less to gain Should I put my neck back under the blade? Hello Despair, my eldest friend Why have you come back again? My life's a nightmare without end Every day I wake up and it starts again More fragile than I thought, again I crack But I just keep coming inanely back Hello Despair, my eldest friend Why have you come back again? No escape in sight for one like me 'Cause the sin is much more than skin deep Hold my hand and hold me close But no one will do that to a ghost Hello Despair, my eldest friend Why have you come back again? Take me home and tuck me in Take knives to my tainted skin Peel me open, watch me bleed Pluck me like a dirty weed Hello Despair, my eldest friend Why have you come back again? Nothing's left and it's quite base Sits and slaps me in the face Laughs at my pathetic soul Nothing's a @#%$ bastard troll Hello Despair, my eldest friend Why have you come back again? Where am I going and what do I do? How do I listen and what about you? The answers are evil and questions are lies Alone and forgotten, hear my raw cries Hello Despair, my eldest friend Why have you come back again? A serpent it seems, that's what I am Crawling along, just another sham Once bitten, but always shy of true There's no hope for me, but maybe you Hello Despair, my eldest friend Why have you come back again? I was doing fine but I'm not sure Life disappeared into a blur My soul's too diseased and rotten Like a spill of ink on clean cotton So hear the bell and back away Despair comes ringing this dark day Cioden Darkeye Quill-Bearer - The Pen is Mightier than the Sword President of the Peredhil Fan Club Owner of the Reply Raven - Enemy to all those who never post responses Ashaman - WoT - Blitz II Council - The Hunters - Blitz II Leisure Officer - SFV Ultima - Beta Edited by: Falcon2001 at: 5/18/02 9:59:55 pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyrfalcon Posted May 19, 2002 Report Share Posted May 19, 2002 Responding only to your last line: My soul's too diseased and rotten Like a spill on ink on clean cotton few souls are so dark that they cannot find redemption, and I think your soul is not as dark as you make it seem. *Gyrfalcon applauds the poem* Good luck, Falcon. *smiles* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Portrait of Zool Posted May 19, 2002 Report Share Posted May 19, 2002 Very well articulated poem. Maybe for your next poem you could meditate on and explore your innate worth? ~Zool~ Ancient, The Pen is Mightier than the Sword. Bard of Terra, Patron Saint of Aspiring Bards. Elder than dirt, more foolish than a jester, able to trip over the smallest logic in a single step. It's... Oh, you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
