Questioning Existence

Contributed by bobotheclown on Friday, 9th April 2004 @ 06:06:29 PM in AEST
Topic: AngryPoetry



Questioning my existence
Since existence in itself
Does not exist
Can't feel my pulse
Coupled with these emotions
I haven't contended with in years
As I drown in this loneliness
Stuck in the womb of sin
I've prayed for deliverance,
But apparently its fallen on deaf ears

Unable to fight
Since my hands are tied
Head bowed before the jury
Sentenced for a crime
I didn't commit

Waking with tears in my eyes
So fragile, tormented by disturbing visions
Quaking with this heady fear
Can't find my pulse
As wet fingers scratch my wrist
I don't exist since I haven't felt
What its like to exist
(whatever that is)

Searched for love,
But apparently that doesn't exist either
And its left me only broken
Searching for scraps on the floor
My wings are clipped
And this 'existence' can be compared
With hell if that belief exists... anymore
Hope has fallen from my face
As I drown... surreptitously... silently

tears filled my eyes with this one, because I'm begging for forgiveness now myself and my pleas are bouncing off the walls and echoing back to me...going un heard..going into junk mail or a trash bin...and I can't let go. Wish I didn't have a heart because it's in shards right now and I feel every piece stabbing me...

The poem puts delicate questions into a new light. I liek the way that you managed to convay fear with so tender words.

wow that was strong, "As wet fingers scratch my wrist", love that line.

You speak truth i think in the first three lines, very well summed up.

A very sad but terrific read,

Silent
