This is what happens when I close my eyes
If I was a simple man
Would we still walk hand in hand?
If I suddenly went blind,
Would you still look in my eyes?
What happens when I grow old,
And all my stories have been told?
Will your heart still race for me,
Or will it march to a new beat?
If I was a simple man...
If I was a simple man,
I'd own no home, I'd own no land.
Would you still stand by my side?
Would our flames still burn so bright?
Sometimes I wonder why
I'm so full of these endless rhymes
About the way I feel inside
I wish I could just
Get
it
right.
I don't know why I am still writing in this old fucking thing.
I should just throw it all away.
Am I really sad?
Or am I just angry?
I can't tell the difference
Sometimes I wish I was the monster
They all want me to be
Maybe then it'd be easier
But most of the time
I want them all to just grow the fuck up
And face the cold hard fact of reality
That despite their private school
And their rich homes
In their quaint little town
The world is full of sick and twisted mistakes
All waiting to happen
With only a single push.
They can point their fingers
And they can pretend to care
But if they really cared they wouldn't have turned
The other cheek
And left me alone
They would have seen past it
And they would have fucking tried
Just like I try every day
But with you,
It's different.
I cannot even begin to think
Of how much I hurt you
But I can't keep
Thinking about mistakes
I want to help you
I want you to know
Your whole being is beautiful
And I wish I could prove it
But I don't know if that
Will even happen anymore.
There's just been
Too much
My mother says
That 'what's yours is yours,
Regardless of whoever else comes around
Or how much time passes.'
I know I'm young
And I know life has only just begun
But I don't feel that young
I've seen so much pain
I've felt out of control
I've let myself sink into that cloud
And I've tasted smoke through her tongue
How can I be so young?
I've seen so much.
These thoughts are real
Regardless of age
These feelings are surreal
And they have been felt by billions.
How the fuck has humanity dealt with so much pain?
How do we keep going?
Why do we keep going?
Why hasn't He made some other plaything
To amuse him and entertain him
Because clearly,
If Christianity is true
He is a sadistic prick.
Fuck it.
I'm not sad.
I'm not angry.
I'm just full of clichéd angst.

School work!
Great piece- I absolutely LOVED the first stanza! You are a fantastic writer.
Midnight angst, perhaps?
I think by everyone else's comments you can understand what an inspiration you are to...well, everyone. I d have no idea what sort of power came over me, but thanks to you I just completed another 30 pages of my book. Thank you, goes no where near the sort of gratitude I'm feeling right now. I've been stuck in this rut for a while in my book. The most exciting part came, and I just stopped. I didn't know what to write. Then, I decided to post a blog and clicked "Next Blog," which I had no idea was there. Kinda lame, right? Anyway, thank you - even though I know that's not enough.
with all the comments above you must have realized wot a beautiful piece of work you've done. i admire your writing skills. keep on the good work.
