I can't remember the time I last smiled, it has been quite awhile.
What is there to laugh about anyway, depression will loom if I stay.
People in my life compete to piss me off, one thing after another, even the homeless man on the corner throws a scoff.
So heartless, they walk right by and never look at my eyes, pretending they didn't see me, making me want to flee.
I'm feeling lightheaded, even a tad bit groggy, these pills add to the effect, my certainty becomes quite foggy.

Started writing poetry officially in 1991, enjoy reading Edgar Allen Poe, reading and dissecting the Holy Bible, and listening to beautiful/inspiring people. Age has no bearing on creativity. Some of the most beautiful things come from those of much lesser age and life experiences. So listen to those young people!
The smell of leather, colored lights flood my vision, a change of thought, a lifestyle revision.
Fluttering all around,. To beauty they are bound,. Full of colors so bright,. A wonderful sight,. Not a single care,. Ever so rare,. Tending to the flowers,. I could watch for hours,.
Dreaming all day of my lumpy bed, Especially on days which I dread, Where reluctantly my feet must tread When they'd rather flee far, instead..
Peering through the loose, worn seam Between the sleep-world and reality, Before daylight, after dream: That is where I'll love you, where I'll be. --Adapted from the movie "Hook".
The soft touch of her skin, causes me to think of sin. Lust that just isn't right, in my mind a constant fight.
Remember if you will, the day that sat quite still. A moment frozen in time, with no reason or rhyme.
In the evening things move about, my sight cannot see, when I wake to look, they all run and flee. Such curious creatures, they never leave a trace, Just one glimpse is all I ask, to look upon a face.
Her dress so white, she turns and walks away, another life change for me, I just want to scream. She used me and took my love away, no reason to live past this day.
