Lost in demons

[orionstarbeam]

You exhausted me.

Us.
You are so Selfish.
If only you could be courageous
To wash your body with a waterfall of white purity and Truth
to cleanse you
Shine!
I know you are

but you stand too far away from yourself

And rid your insides
of Nasty
Tormenting
Demons
Burning

You fragile child in a wooden box

Your thoughts
Confusions
Feelings
Your Desire
All melted in a think paste
Moulded to the shape of your walls
Layer upon layer

Fossilised

It must be hard to find love in that.




This is something i wrote about an ex-boyfriend.... i don't think you could ever really have called it a relationship but it was what it was and i found such a troubled soul inside a stone man whose childhood had sent him charging, defiantly, back to wherever it is that he came from. *peace* x x x

I like your layout. Ive always had a soft spot for the poems that break the usual line scheme and dance around the page.

well.....i'm sat in my room...coughing and spluttering!!i'm full of cold....so i'm sat writing poetry n reading through my old stuff...i found this...it's very sad...and i felt such a powerful,utter disgust and dissapointment .... i was so shocked and angry... It's about the russian tragedy that happened bout last september...at the school....i remember seeing a disturbing photo on the front of a newspaper of a little girl ...blood all over her...god...it was so awful...

I wrote this soon after i saw that photo...it stress's my anger towards humanity but i understand that there are a lot of good beautiful people in the world 'humanity is like an ocean,if a few drops are dirty is doesn't make the ocean black'..i can't remember where i read that..n i might not have got it exactly right..i think ghandi said it...anyway...hope i've conveyed what i felt at that time through this.... x


The slow sinking of dissapointment

Inadequacy

I

Am not enough

Helpless,I stretch my arms out
If only
To hold those tiny innocent wounded humans
Mothers,fathers,makers,bearers
Starers...

How shall we respond????
How shall we cope with being so
Useless????

I am so far away.... I have no solid power

If only
United we could
Every being
Entwine together
Our fibres, our blood
Safe in the veins of one body of souls
Erase this loathsome sickness of man
That i fear is crawling
Consuming this land
A disease
A plague
Crescending fear...All whispers...
Blood stained and charging
Silently together
Blackening this earth
Drawing closer
The end of our distorted self image
oh we think we're so important...

~* Loved the messages in both pieces. I had to reread the first one and came back to find a second one posted as well. The only thing that kinda threw me in the first was "white purity" I feel like the addition of the word white gave it alotta drama and distracted a bit from the point which was already a strong statement.
Good message in the second one. Maybe if we all weren't so disconnected we would care and do more (or do less to each other) Thanks for the read sweety, much enjoyed.
