Venting Express Yourself: What’s on Your mind?

[WornOutLife]

...I was dreaming of a dream last night
Oh little dream of my soul
I was dreaming of her
That in my arms she was...

In my case, she is The Death.

Ohhh it's been almost 2 months since I posted this! I was really inspired that night lol

Born:
In my grave I sit,
Waiting.

While pain festers like disease,
It supersedes boundaries
Holding dignity hostage.

I wish these words didn't ring so true to me... :-( @UnaccompaniedJourney

I always get chills reading these but can never work out what the intended message was without hints.

I wanted to try with a poem but in the end I am left with "lyrics". I didn't think it would be so difficult for me to find the rhyme in English

Black night that you bring me peace
Follow the grey day that bring freshness and silence
Quiet and lost trails covered in a grayish mantle
They are interrupted by the singing of a bird
The coming rains will coll the trails
The singing faded, now the snap of the drops take their place

Thoughtful and alone, you have listened to yourself in silence
How the drops sing as they brush your black leather jacket
You let out a deep sigh
Pick up your remains and get going
The rain won't hide your tears for long.

@Fehler What a wonderful poem. I usually don't like poetry, but this really hit me. Especially this:

You let out a deep sigh
Pick up your remains and get going
The rain won't hide your tears for long.

It's almost like looking in the mirror. Thank you for sharing.

As for my own answer... I just feel like crap. Still processing a few recent events...

@Fehler

That's okay, I find it difficult too, and English is my first language.

Pfft, there was nothing for you to be worried about, I definitely enjoyed this.

"Thoughtful and alone, you have listened to yourself in silence"

There's just something about this line that forces introspection, I love it. So many thought provoking questions come to mind. Inspirational. :)

Thoughts recede as you recoil;
Started into reality,
Silence stings
As it accompanies
The falling rain.

And thank you both very much for your words, you have made my night happy. I took it out with things that happened to me when I went out for a walk.

Yes, that's it!

Lived experience. Some of the best poems describe a feeling or something you've experienced. If this helps you, don't stop, write anytime an idea comes to mind.

Thank you, I appreciate your kindness.

I smoked a couple of joints that was hard for me to sleep and it came..."inspiration"?


Narrow passages you walk through in silence
Steep slopes accompanied by your gasps
What do you hope to find?
That illusion you left behind to move on...
You pretend that you try, but you keep denying your reality

You keep falling on the same stone
You are the perfect definition of human
Selfish, Ignorant, arrogant ...
How much bitterness endured.
Your mistakes will always accompany you.

May your own willpower be opposed to your success
You regret the past, but you keep repeating it
Little is what has happened to you.
Not even with luck on your side you would know how to continue.

...good night c:

I really like the story this tells; a life lived through trials. We're often guilty of repeating the same mistakes in the name of just trying to get by.

I hope this isn't how you see yourself.

Be ready once hope runs clear,
Chance run-in with life's puppeteer.

There is something so easthetically pleasing about the format on your post. It gives me joy

Are we born to live?
Do we live to die?
Will our soul survive?
What's beyond the sky?
Tell me why we're here
Nobody knows why
Will our soul survive?
What's beyond the sky?

A momentary pause that equates to wasted months
The end is built, but you inevitably lengthen the path.
You will repeat the cycle until you know true hopelessness.

I'm tired of seeing animals suffering and in misery. It's as close as on my block. I notice solitary animals along the hwy fenced and I relate and want to scream and free them or put them out of their misery.

I hate seeing happy people. There are not enough happy animals. I'm sick of this shit. I'm sick of news media covering up the injustice in Palestine. The current horrors in Afghanistan are awful. Libya is a slave ship. I'm tired of knowing.
