[hometext] => about my lack of inspiration and oppritunity
[bodytext] => I, in all my glory Have forgotten how to bow I have forgotten my story Forgotten what I'm allowed As though everything around me Is moving but I cannot see it Without the light I can't see But I have no candle to be lit Lack of inspiration Lack of self esteem There is my indignation There is my eye's gleam Far, far away When I left my sorrowful state You can't go back in time Only to a place But that place is far behind And you must keep your pace You must keep in line Though you lost your sight for this race You can ask for a piece of mind You can take what you please You can choose to be blind You can ignore your nagging needs Be blind to everything around you Or maybe just ignore it Dark took your inspiration too Yet again, there's no candle to be lit You can beg and beg for another candle But who are you begging to? In this dark no one will share their light Its far to precious, as is their sight Distrust in you, the unkown, blind beggar They need to keep their light too Their greed is much grater Than anyone's generosity You've been left on the cobblestones Of this cold cold city This cold, unfair city called Your Life Oh April, if you could only see There are plenty of good people Oh April, if you could only see There are oppritunities There is light Nothing to be shed on you Nothing close to sight If only I could see This city would be so beautiful I'm sure of it But I have no money to pay the toll And not a candle to be lit [comments] => 3 [counter] => 230 [topic] => 31 [informant] => SmileSkinDeep [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => StoryPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
