selfstruggles
|
the lights are off and going
through her drunken dance
her body dead and moving
the walls beating down
steel drums monotonic
steel hearts drained of life
boredome has come and
left us to strife
empty halls filled desire
empty halls fading now
and all i can see is
the stampede winning out
i grasp at the corner
and find my self falling in
surrounded and silent
i dont want to come in
i dont want to come in
i dont want you in me
i dont want me in you
i am a child i am hopelessly
holding on to youth
yet the walls are still beating
theyve taken the hearts
of all that is young
of all that is pure
and i am the steel
and i am burning bright
burning hard
burning
out....

Aww, honey. Growing up's a hard thing to do, huh? Reading this made me want to give you a hug. But it's a damn good poem. The imagery's pretty darn good, it makes me remember quite vividly what it's like to be where you are. Who'm I kidding, I'm still there. And it doesn't really change as you get older, you just get used to it. |
