Just an Epigone
Though not quite parsimonious
I try to be simple
Fancy things are nice
But not everything
I'm a sentient being
Capable of being hurt
Contrite with the pain
That never seems to escape
I wish not to be free of it
For it is what remains
Of my former emotions
It is what keeps me sane
Strange as it may seem
I am in love with the pain
That my loneliness brings
It has been the one constant
That has never forsaken me
I try to be simple
Fancy things are nice
But not everything
I'm a sentient being
Capable of being hurt
Contrite with the pain
That never seems to escape
I wish not to be free of it
For it is what remains
Of my former emotions
It is what keeps me sane
Strange as it may seem
I am in love with the pain
That my loneliness brings
It has been the one constant
That has never forsaken me

Post a CommentSometimes it is easy to get to comfortable with our pain. Beautifully said.
once again, you've floored me. i've been inside my own head that deep, too many times!
Parsimonious was a new word for me. Thank you. You aren't alone!
This is so well written.
Very interesting introspection.
