too old to feel so young
yet feel to young to be old
Time to throw in the towel,
put it to rest...
nothing works out for the best..
that line is a bunch of crap...
Start to feel alive again..
feel some ground under foot
not much,
but not as grave deep
Life takes its turn
and craps again...
welcome to my world
in the depths of hell
Repeat the cycle
time and again
girl can just take so much
before it's the end.
What is that shiny thing laying there?
sweet endings..
powerful yet tiny..
the cycle breaker no doubt
Is this what it has come to?
This life as they call it..
a cycle breaker?
done only through demise?
Getting tougher by the day
to crawl to arise
too old to care
to young to die
Despair you question?
Yeah, have plenty to share..
Do you want a handful?
here, take some more, I like to share...
Reality is just what it is..
yours mine theirs...
to hell with reality
just want a break..
stop the f'ing cycle
I just want some air
don't have to be rich
just want to be square
don't need a superhero
don't need no kings
don't want the player
don't want the depends
want the solid
want the real
want the attraction
want the lifetime
but the cycle keeps busting me
knocking me down
testing my will
to close to winning its unreal...
don't want to call it quits
throw in the towel
but there is only so much
even the strong can endure
escape is what I seek
for a moment in time will not do
I want to break free
from this unrelenting demise

Post a CommentOh crap. Are you feeling better now? I hope so. You're one of my favorites.
excellent! I love this..now if AC would fix the google ad problem (putting them smack in the middle of such beautiful poetry) that would be awesome!! well done
wow wow!~
When I was young I was afraid I was going to die, now I am afraid I am going to live.
So much for pain eventual pain just gets boring then you get over it.
I hear you - I've had a broken rib, broken foot, death and arguments in the family all within 6 months. I too feel physically like crap a lot of days on first waking up. My hope, my faith all goes into getting with the Lord early in the morning. The day goes much better after that.
Now I wish I would have sent that as a private message! Oops.
Very nice job here- this really talked to me. I don't get how so much can go wrong so often and I'm tired of pretending to be happy and giving myself daily pep talks.
