Here are two poems I wrote the other day. Just wondering what anyone thinks...
The Explanation
Have you ever felt that you belong?
Because this is something for which I long
I have never felt completely content
A lingering restlessness which is getting ever more potent
I need to find what it is I can do
I feel my time here is almost through
I need to go out and live in some other place
Experience life and find my true face
And if I don't? Well I fear for my mind
I know that you don't understand but we are of a different kind
Always know part of me is always here
But being unhappy is what I most fear
And it's what I've been for some time now
But I've lacked the courage to tell you how
It is that I feel about my life
Overcome by this overwhelming strife
But I have the strength to say
All these things to you today
Perhaps you already know...
I really have to go
Formed With A Tear
Formed with a tear
Expressed in a line
This feeling I'm sure
Is not only mine
There is another
Who feels this way
But she is gone for what
Feels like forever and a day
My Heart? It aches
My Head? It pounds
My Thoughts are running
Around and around
My world feels complete
When she is present
Like someone has given form
To my very essence
This moment feels empty
Because she is not here
and what do I have?
Only that which was formed with a tear...
