Array ( [sid] => 59052 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Mine Own Epiphony [time] => 2004-08-05 18:11:13 [hometext] => This was a poem I wrote when I was going through a pivotal moment in my life. [bodytext] => Moving Closer, toward the endless abyss
Watching my life fall away like a snake shedding
Observing everything fall to my deaf ear
Tired of hearing, seeing that which is destruction.

Life became morbid as a tombstone
Love became a nightmare like the movies
Uniquity fell away as clones arose
Simplicity dopped instantly as difficulty was born.

Animals that once thrived in this land die off so fast
Beauty that once contained depth is now just a shallow pool
People that used to contain a bright side have turned into ogres
A sky once lined with stars is scattered in darkness.

Walking towards the vortex, I shall not get sucked in
That which is meant to hamr others heals me
People that want to kill go docile when they see me
Angry Gods taking wrath on everyone but me.

Now I see though, I live in my own world
My disillusionments with reality hit me ten fold
What I thought was a gift to me was really a curse
And what I thought would heal me instead spread like cancer.

Get me out of here and into the light
Take the curse off and free my soul
Let that which harms me truly begin to heal me
Shed some light upon the scattered dark sky.

Let no beauty become so shallow as a drop of rain
Give people the spark back they once contained
Revive back the populations of extinct animals
Help the difficulty to become simplicity again.

Great job. I like the way you told this story. It unfolded nicely, and was easy to follow. Also, you presented a lot of great descriptive images that helps your piece. There is a lot of depth to this piece as well, I can see that you put a lot into it. Nice.

Be True,
