Dancing Madly Backwards In This Chaotic Storm I Can't Stand My Ground And then Go Forward Sand Pelts My Face Dust Fills My Eyes I Try To Keep My Balance But It's Like Walking On Ice A Memory Forms In My Mind It's Like Going Back In Time There's A Whisper In My Ear I Try To Make Sense Of But It's All Unclear I Can't Quite Make Out What It's Saying Then A Blanket Is Placed Upon My Shoulders A Calm Runs Through My Veins I Hear A Voice Not Mine More Wise And Older And This is What it Said There Comes A Time My Friend That You Will Find There's No Where Left To Run And Hide You Will Find Your Back Is Against A Wall So You Stand Very Still And Take Your Beating Or Lower Your Head And Come Out Swinging I open My Eyes The Memory Fades It's Time TO Face My Demons And Yet I Can't Help Feeling Metaphores Are More For Whores I Hear Cliches' For Days Threats And Swears Are Often Ignored Because Words Are Made For Play It's Physical Acts With A Bloody Axe That Can't Be Undone Or Changed So Now What Do We DO In This Busy Subway When We See The Toss Of The Spinning Grenade It Makes Me Sad It Makes Me Mad Hot Tears Roll Down My Face Hot Tears With A Salty Taste Expunge The Sorrow That I Feel Reveal The Horror I Hold So Dear Acceptance Of This Fate I'm Dealt Acceptance Of The Hate I've Felt Must I Find Shelter In This House Of Cards Show My Hand And Face The Odds Soon To Rise The Sun Always Sets To Face The Day Often With Regret Like Perfect Snowflakes That Form A Drift For Choices I've Made Rid Me With Guilt With Flickerind Candlelight I Now See Everything Thats Been Given To Me Even Though It's Foggy At Best And I Know Again That Lifes A Gift A Gift Thats Given I Won't Forget If I can Remember What I hold So Dear It Will Help Me Most To Face My Fear
Oops I see now there is a sub-forum for Poetry. I guess a Mod will move this if they feel the need. Sorry
