I can never think of titles for my poems, but unlike here on my blog, when I give my poems titles they have to make sense. ___________________________________ Thought about something So much that You feel like you're drowning? Flailing arms Can't hang on To the last pieces of reality That you were clinging to so tightly. And you fall... Fall into cold, icy water Bottomless and dark. You'll never reach the surface, You'll never be free. Your mind just keeps drowning Spiralling downward uncontrollably Hopelessly. You want them to catch you Hold you Save you But it's too late You're drowning, And the surface of reality Is so far away that You'll never make it back. ________________________________________________________________ It doesn't have a title. I wrote it about a year ago - maybe a little more than that. I think I was in the seventh grade, anyway. I have another one that I want to post, but I wrote it in such a way that I have to use some pretty complicated HTML to have it make any sense. I'll give it a shot later. I'm flipping through my notebook right now, trying to see if I've got anything else worth posting. Hmmm... ________________________________________________________________ Voices, Words. I look like I'm listening, But I'm not. Sorry guys, But I'm not really here. I checked out long ago - My feet are on the ground but I'm somewhere far away. ________________________________________________________________ But it's hot. It's simple, I'm not. I smile, And I frown. The pool's empty I drown. Time creeps by So fast, Forever Won't last. I'm still But I'm spinning. It's a race And I'm winning. My eyes Are wide shut. Things look easy But - There are surprise checks. Life is simply complex. ________________________________________________________________ I'm not sure if I like that last one. I wrote it a few months ago...I hate poems that rhyme. They sound so kindergarten. Meh. I think that's all I've got for now. I might find some more and post them later.
