[bodytext] => In my wanderings through time when my vision seems to blur I always think I know what's best yet still I'm not so sure My decisions always falter; they sway to an extreme My head left with the aftermath that makes me want to scream Seeing every part play out; seeing all I've stored away Keep every feeling minimal; the anger left at bay Couped up within my shell where shackles are my only friends I'll walk this path in solitude until I find the end Left lifeless on the wayside where the storm has yet to pass Nothing left for me to do except kick back and relapse The dissonance has quieted within my aching heart Though the shock has not yet settled from when I fell apart These memories I've yet to shed--cast out in time and space Leave me swelling deep inside; each one pouring down my face My defenses have all weakened; the battle yet to cease Strong, though, I'll rebuild these walls to protect the core of me There's violence in the night that will bruise me deep inside From choices I have yet to make--refusing to take sides For nothing seems so sweet when you are glancing at the past I guess all that I've left to do is kick back and relapse I've been waiting in the dark as hours pass to my dismay Waiting for the mourning dawn that will bring a brighter day I find myself stuck within the hours of the pale moon's light Afraid to go the distance; fear my footing won't be right Yet every star that spins with desire held in its ranks Keeps me moving on as I walk along upon these planks This cliffside made for jumping, I cling firmly to the edge Hoping to see to the depths as I look over this ledge I know exactly what I'll see and there's no turning back I guess as I go over I'll just kick back and relapse Convictions I've left waning as my moral fibers fade Beginning to shed their light as I move along my way Have left me wanting even less yet still I ask for more Devoted to this yearning even when the choice was poor But I can never take them back--those choices that I pick So I'll take this bull by its horns and ride til I get sick The ups and downs I'm stuck between This unfamiliar gravity Falling faster straight through the black Why don't you kick back and relapse Take my hand and we'll fall together through this blasphemy And hands apart we'll walk alone throughout eternity Where soon you'll see the choice you made Was nothing more than mere mistake And caught up in your own regret You'll realize it's not over yet For second-hands stop turning as we float amidst our pasts Nothing left for us to do except kick back and relapse [comments] => 0 [counter] => 134 [topic] => 75 [informant] => satanssecret1369 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 12 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => anguished )

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. ©
