My heart accidentally stops when i forget to breathe,
It helps me feel cold but sure,
And sure i am when you cant handle the lashes you receive.
Mental circles and insecurities have no cure.
Working only to fulfil habit, you fail,
And i handle my mania so nervously,
Mental caution tape from tries that turned so stale.
An you rolled the yellow tape out purposely.
Now here's the truth.
The truth can set you free,
Life can make you fly so high in the sky,
But don't forget to keep flapping, if you fall you die.
Being humbled and determined is key.
Doing everything plus more takes practice,
Just when you think you might have it the screen turns to static,
And being me, a manic, i panic.
So i sit here planning and replacing my tactic.
But this is what they don't teach.
Teachers don't teach you that others will put their feet on your soul,
Old hearted fragments on the bottom of their soles,
Do they care?, no , they cant care,
That would make them give back the lives they stole.
So they just look at you, with empty eyes and a cold stare.
And just when everyone leaves you alone, your old .
And the life they took is replaced with coal.
And the place where your heart was is now a hole.
The truth isn't always fair.

this entire poem was amazing. i really liked the way it was sectioned off it set a good boundary for the flow of this piece. you separated it exquisitely, it was almost like 3 poems in one that all went together. as i read the story in the beginning i could feel confusion and irritation. the following two stanza gave me a sense of hope and determination, but at the end i was angered at the reality of life, almost let down. [not by the poem but at the fact that your words are so true. most people don't want to see that others behave that way..] all in all i think it might be one of my favorites because of the content.. it just shows there are lessons in everything we come in contact with. ily
ReplyDeleteI wish the first stanza had a linking line above it too. But i love the linking lines that help shift the readers train of thought to your next point. The entire "now here's the truth Stanza's" were my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you admit fault within yourself and your own need to change...or the need to learn. it's a real turning point.
great work my friend... I still love you though so..
~I love it and I love you!
