Hated Stagnation

Contributed by bobotheclown on Sunday, 30th May 2004 @ 09:08:24 PM in AEST
Topic: DarkPoetry



Drowning... even though I've attempted to hold on
Amidst everything that suggests otherwise
Trying to crawl out of here
Caught in this hell called reality
My eyes are hollow pools
And I cling to everything that is real
While I'm bled dry by leeches of depression

Every day...
I face the world in stony silence
I'm blind, but my defiance runs free
While my blood flows ever colder
I stroke the waters of my life
So gently... as if...
Beckoning me... to fall
And I mock myself
So eloquently, without restraint
I open up my skin
And bid myself to bleakly weep

Betrayed by fate
As onward I plod
Plotting ways to die
Aching for a sign
That will allow me to live
Purging the noises that assail me
As I come to the realization
That the only way I can escape
Is to annihilate myself.

hey ive told you this before but this is for all you others too.

i like this line "Every day...
I face the world in stony silence" i could really see you in it

"I open up my skin
And bid myself to bleakly weep"

i like that line too.

as odd as it sounds, i like the way youve capitalized the beginnings of sentences. it may strike as old fashioned, but it caused me to pay more attention to each line individually.

"While my blood flows ever colder
I stroke the waters of my life
So gently... as if...
Beckoning me... to fall"

i got a reallyt cool visual from that line too.

good stuff man... keep telling me to read more.
